• "Nor end your sufferings here; a strange Disease/And most obscene, shall on your Bodies seize."
• "The all-seeing Sun-shed Infection on Air, Earth and Streams/From whence this Malady its birth received/And first the offending Syphilus was grieved/He first wore Buboes dreadfull to the sight/First felt strange Pains and sleepless past the Night/From him the Malady received its name."
