Toxica zelotypo dedit uxor maecha marito | B |
Nec satis ad mortem credidit esse datum | C |
Miscuit argenti lethalia pondera vivi | D |
Ut celeret certam vis geminata necem | C |
Ergo inter sese dum noxia pocula certant | B |
Cessit lethalis noxa saltuiferi | E |
Protinus in vacuos alvi petiere recessus | A |
Lubrica dejectis quae via nota cibis | A |
Quam pia cura Deum prodest crudelior uxor | E |
Sic cum fata volunt bina venena juvant | B |

Her jealous husband an adultresse gave | D |
Cold poysons to o weak she thought for's grave | D |
A fatal dose of quicksilver then she | G |
Mingles to hast his double destinie | H |
Now whilst within themselves they are at strife | D |
The deadly potion yields to that of life | D |
And straight from th' hollow stomack both retreat | B |
To th' slippery pipes known to digested meat | B |
Strange care o' th' gods the murth'resse doth avail | I |
So when fates please ev'n double poysons heal | J |
