An image of sweet sleep in carven stone,

A hermit, having been invited by a padshah, concluded that if he were to take some medicine to make himself weak he might perhaps enhance the opinion of the padshah regarding his merits. But it is related that the medicine was lethal so that when he partook of it he died.

Was but skin upon skin like an onion.

Seems the kitchen stove back then always had a pan or two
Brewing up a remedy for the ailments which we knew,
