Cocculus Indicus cocc.
Mnemonic names
Coc. / (Cock.) / The Cook.
Verse
Cocculus,-Thou "Knockout" sprite!
Nervousness is thy delight.
Not unfrequently, indeed,
With a biliousness in lead.
Nausea then thy symptoms bold,
Felt when riding, or when cold.
Or when rising up in bed,
Or with ailments in the head,
Or with stomach cramp, that may
Take the very breath away.
Numbness is thy charge to keep,
Holding hands and feet asleep,
Giving us to see by this
Tokens of paralysis.
Which spells of trembling may
With hysteric fits hold sway.
Worse by eating, drinking, talk,
Smoking, riding, taking walk.
