Insects of portentous shape—worms,
Wreathed serpents, asps, and tape-worms,
Ill-fashion’d fishes, dead and swimming,
And untimely fruits of women;
All the thirty skins infuse
In Alcohol’s Phlogistic dews.
Steep them—till the blessed Sun
Through half his mighty round hath run—
Hours twelve—the time exact
Their inmost virtues to extract.
