<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>This is the entry for [[mandrake]] from Maplet&#039;s &#039;&#039;[[A Greene Forest]]&#039;&#039;.<br /> <br /> ===Of the Mandrake.===<br /> The &#039;&#039;Mandrake&#039;&#039;, sayth &#039;&#039;[[Diascorides]]&#039;&#039;, of some is called &#039;&#039;Circea&#039;&#039;. For that the Poets faigned, that &#039;&#039;Circe&#039;&#039; the Witch or Sorceresse used it in hir amorous and delicious drinks. It beareth sayth &#039;&#039;[[Isidore]]&#039;&#039;, an Apple or sweete smell, which of some is called the Apple of the earth. The poets call it &#039;&#039;Anthropomorpheos&#039;&#039;, for that it hath his roote in the earth in figure like to a man. Whose roote being boyled with wine and given the pacient to drinke, the Surgion forthwith casteth the Patient into a dead sleepe. There is of this both Male and Female. The Male is of like leaf to the Beete. The Female to the Lettise.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Maplet]]</div>
