HERB - "Hortulus" - "Radish"

[RAISYA@aol.com]

Here's one of the shortest of Strabo's poems - Raisya

"XXV.  Radish

	Here, in the last row of all, the radish
Roots itself strongly and raises its leaves in a broad
Canopy.  Chew the root - though it's rather hot -
To check a spasm of coughing; the troublesomeness
Of that same complaint can also often be cured
If you grind the seed in a potion and swallow it down."
