[An erbe who tastith it shal die lauhyng.]
Ther groweth also an herbe, as bookis seie,
Which that is so dyuers of nature,
Who tasteth therof lauhhyng he shal deie,
No medecyne may helpe hym nor recure;
The touch therof stant eek in auenture,—
Yiff it entre his mouth in any side,
He shal alyue for lauhtre nat abide.
Which that is so dyuers of nature,
Who tasteth therof lauhhyng he shal deie,
No medecyne may helpe hym nor recure;
The touch therof stant eek in auenture,—
971
He shal alyue for lauhtre nat abide.
