Epigraph

. . . a certain shepherd lad
/ Of small regard to see, yet well skill'd / In every virtuous plant, and healing herb / . . . would beg me sing: / Which, when I did, he on the tender grass / Would sit, and hearken even to ecstasy, / And in requital ope his leathern scrip, / And show me Simples, of a thousand names, / Telling their strange and vigorous faculties. -- John Milton, Comus
