Though quenched by oil, its smouldering embers raise
Sprinkled by water, a still fiercer blaze;
It cures the dropsy, shaky teeth are fixed
Washed with the powder'd stone in water mixed.
Thanks. And once again, Layamon describing Stonehenge -Sprinkled by water, a still fiercer blaze;
It cures the dropsy, shaky teeth are fixed
Washed with the powder'd stone in water mixed.
Men that are sick
Fare to that stone
And they wash that stone
And with that water bathe away their sickness
There are few things in life more important than a long and healthy one; therein, perhaps, lies the key.
