"The Eugh--obedient to the bender's will."
In olden times the Olitory, or Herb-garden, formed an important
annex to all demesnes having any pretensions to completeness, and
was under "My Lady's" [624] special charge. In fact, the culture and
preparing of Simples formed a part of every lady's education. "My
Lord's" retainers and tenants, when out of sorts, were treated with
these wholesome remedies, and were directed to find in Simples the
cure for all ordinary ailments.
Good George Herbert, of Country Parson celebrity, taught, 1620:--
"In the knowledge of Simples, wherein the manifold wisdom of God
is wonderfully to be seen, one thing should be carefully observed,
which is, to know what herbs may be used instead of drugs of the
same nature, and to make the garden the shop; for, home-bred
medicines are both more easy for the Parson's purse, and more
familiar for all men's bodies. So where the Apothecary useth either
for loosing, Rhubarb, or for binding, Bole Armena; the Parson useth
Damask, or White Roses for the one, and Plantain, Shepherd's
Purse, or Knotgrass for the other: and that with better success. As
for Spices, he doth not only prefer home-bred things before them,
but condemns them for vanities, and so shuts them out of his family,
esteeming that there is no spice comparable of herbs to Rosemary,
Thyme, Savory, Mints: and of seeds to Fennel and Carraway.
Accordingly for salves his wife seeks not the city, but prefers her
garden and fields, before all outlandish gums. And, surely, Hyssop,
Valerian, Mercury, Adder's tongue, Yarrow, Melilot, and St. John's
Wort, made into a salve, and Elder, Camomile, Mallows, Comphrey,
and Smallage, made into a poultice have done great, and rare cures!"
