Mind, good, bad, &c._

Symptoms are either of body or mind; of body, paleness, leanness, dryness,
&c. [5238]_Pallidus omnis amans, color hic est aptus amanti_, as the poet
describes lovers: _fecit amor maciem_, love causeth leanness. [5239]
Avicenna _de Ilishi, c. 33._ "makes hollow eyes, dryness, symptoms of this
disease, to go smiling to themselves, or acting as if they saw or heard
some delectable object." Valleriola, _lib. 3. observat. cap. 7._
Laurentius, _cap. 10._ Aelianus Montaltus _de Her. amore_. Langius, _epist.
24. lib. 1. epist. med._ deliver as much, _corpus exangue pallet, corpus
gracile, oculi cavi_, lean, pale,--_ut nudis qui pressit calcibus anguem_,
"as one who trod with naked foot upon a snake," hollow-eyed, their eyes are
hidden in their heads,--[5240]_Tenerque nitidi corposis cecidit decor_,
they pine away, and look ill with waking, cares, sighs.

"Et qui tenebant signa Phoebeae facis
Oculi, nihil gentile nec patrium micant."

"And eyes that once rivalled the locks of Phoebus, lose the patrial and
paternal lustre." With groans, griefs, sadness, dullness,

[5241] ------"Nulla jam Cereris subi
Cura aut salutis"------

want of appetite, &c. A reason of all this, [5242]Jason Pratensis gives,
"because of the distraction of the spirits the liver doth not perform his
part, nor turns the aliment into blood as it ought, and for that cause the
members are weak for want of sustenance, they are lean and pine, as the
herbs of my garden do this month of May, for want of rain." The green
sickness therefore often happeneth to young women, a cachexia or an evil
habit to men, besides their ordinary sighs, complaints, and lamentations,
which are too frequent. As drops from a still,--_ut occluso stillat ab igne
liquor_, doth Cupid's fire provoke tears from a true lover's eyes,

[5243] "The mighty Mars did oft for Venus shriek,
Privily moistening his horrid cheek
With womanish tears,"------

[5244] ------"ignis distillat in undas,
Testis erit largus qui rigat ora liquor,"

with many such like passions. When Chariclia was enamoured of Theagines, as
[5245]Heliodorus sets her out, "she was half distracted, and spake she knew
not what, sighed to herself, lay much awake, and was lean upon a sudden:"
and when she was besotted on her son-in-law, [5246]_pallor deformis,
marcentes oculi_, &c., she had ugly paleness, hollow eyes, restless
thoughts, short wind, &c. Euryalu
