Ignatia Amara ign.

Ign. / The Saint.

Ignatia,-Brooding child of grief!
For Nervous ailments thou the chief.
Thy every sense acutely keen,
Thy mind unstable-unserene.
Thy moods hysteric-laughing-crying,
Or bowed in grief, in silence sighing.
Thy nerves in agitated plight,
Convulsed perchance by worms or fright.
Whilst all the while there seems to sit,
A goneness at thy stomach pit;
Or in the brain a pressure keen
As of a nail there driven in.
Thine, too, an ague chill, that may
To warmth of cover yield the sway.
A falling of the rectum, which is
Attended with deep rectal stitches.
Neuralgic pain, of head and chest,
And cough that teasing, gives no rest.
A soreness of the throat relieved
By food in gulping act, received.
Thy ailments are augmented all
By coffee and by alcohol.
Thy pains some ease from pressure gain,
Or lying on the seat of pain.
Though much averse to victuals warm,
In acids thou dost find a charm.
