CLIII.

_Attulerunt ei omnes male affectos daemoniacos, lunaticos: et sanavit

eos._ Matt. iv. 24.

Collige te tibi, torve Draco, furiasque facesque,

Quasque vocant pestes nox Erebusque suas:

Fac colubros jam tota suos tua vibret Erinnys;

Collige, collige te fortiter, ut pereas.

_They brought unto Him all sick people that were taken with divers

diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and

those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and He healed

them._

Gather thy powers, grim Dragon, furies, flames,

All plagues which Erebus or midnight claims,

Bid each Erinnys high her serpents flourish;

Bring all, bring all, that thou mayst wholly perish.[81] R. WI.
