several parties.

But to confine them, these general symptoms may be reduced to those of the
body or the mind. Those usual signs appearing in the bodies of such as are
melancholy, be these cold and dry, or they are hot and dry, as the humour
is more or less adust. From [2455]these first qualities arise many other
second, as that of [2456]colour, black, swarthy, pale, ruddy, &c., some are
_impense rubri_, as Montaltus _cap. 16_ observes out of Galen, _lib. 3, de
locis affectis_, very red and high coloured. Hippocrates in his book
[2457]_de insania et melan._ reckons up these signs, that they are [2458]
"lean, withered, hollow-eyed, look old, wrinkled, harsh, much troubled with
wind, and a griping in their bellies, or bellyache, belch often, dry
bellies and hard, dejected looks, flaggy beards, singing of the ears,
vertigo, light-headed, little or no sleep, and that interrupt, terrible and
fearful dreams," [2459]_Anna soror, quae, me suspensam insomnia terrent_?
The same symptoms are repeated by Melanelius in his book of melancholy
collected out of Galen, Ruffus, Aetius, by Rhasis, Gordonius, and all the
juniors, [2460]"continual, sharp, and stinking belchings, as if their meat
in their stomachs were putrefied, or that they had eaten fish, dry bellies,
absurd and interrupt dreams, and many fantastical visions about their eyes,
vertiginous, apt to tremble, and prone to venery." [2461]Some add
palpitation of the heart, cold sweat, as usual symptoms, and a leaping in
many parts of the body, _saltum in multis corporis partibus_, a kind of
itching, saith Laurentius, on the superficies of the skin, like a
flea-biting sometimes. [2462]Montaltus _cap. 21._ puts fixed eyes and much
twinkling of their eyes for a sign, and so doth Avicenna, _oculos habentes
palpitantes, trauli, vehementer rubicundi_, &c., _lib. 3. Fen. 1. Tract. 4.
cap. 18._ They stut most part, which he took out of Hippocrates' aphorisms.
[2463]Rhasis makes "headache and a binding heaviness for a principal
token, much leaping of wind about the skin, as well as stutting, or
tripping in speech, &c., hollow eyes, gross veins, and broad lips." To some
too, if they be far gone, mimical gestures are too familiar, laughing,
grinning, fleering, murmuring, talking to themselves, with strange mouths
and faces, inarticulate voices, exclamations, &c. And although they be
commonly lean, hirsute, uncheerful in countenance, withered, and not so
pleasant to behold, by reason of thos
