Anatomy
bread flesh herbs
too course to be eaten parts: heads, feet
pigeons of herbs preparing sharp sauces
causes of unnatural things
irascible
pleasant at first tending to evil guts
in the vinegar fog delight the appetite blind
if cold, ambition marks a mad spark
hot and grievous symptom of prophet vision
wanders all over the body and home in the dark
