Mosquitoes, and big tigers and monstrous bumble bees;

Huge elephants, gorillas, and awful Guinea-worms,

Sloughing phagedaena, and sleeping sickness germs,

Tinea imbricata, piedra and goundou,

Malaria and the ainhum, pinta and the sprue,

Chyluria, mycetoma, leprosy and yaws,

Afric dysentery and maybe lions' claws,

Bubonic plague and dengue and dreadful tropic-boils,

Fevers black and yellow and sometimes serpents' coils,

Tinea Madagascar, Dhobie itch, screw worms,
