XLIV. Past recovery.

Hei mihi quod nullis amor est medicabilis herbis!

VVhen sage Lycurgus, Sparta's Law inactor,
Made mulcts for this and th'other Malefactor,
No Penalty for Paricides he set,
Thinking none would so foule a crime commit.
So Æsculape the Physic Deitie
Gave salves for every other Malady,
But none for Loves sore, 'cause he thought indeed
No Liver so corrupt was such a Plague to breed.
