  Pharmacy was not overlooked. I do remember an apothecary,— And hereabouts he dwells,—which late I noted In tatter’d weeds, with overwhelming brows, Culling of simples: meagre were his looks, Sharp misery had worn him to the bones; And in his needy shop a tortoise hung, An alligator stuff’d, and other skins Of ill-shap’d fishes; and, about his shelves, A beggarly account of empty boxes, Green earthen pots, bladders, and musty seeds, Remnants of packthread, and old cakes of roses, Were thinly scatter’d to make up a show. Noting this penury, to myself I said— An if a man need poison now, Whose sale is present death in Mantua, Here lives a caitiff wretch would sell it him. What, ho! apothecary! Romeo and Juliet, Act V., Sc. I. O, true apothecary! Thy drugs are quick. Romeo and Juliet, Act V., Sc. III. He did buy a poison of a poor apothecary, And there withal came to this vault to die. Romeo and Juliet, Act V., Sc. III. Bid the apothecary Bring the strong poison that I bought of him. Henry VI—2d, Act III., Sc. III. Your master will be dead ere you return; There’s nothing can be minister’d to nature. That can recover him. Give this to the ’pothecary, And tell me how it works. Pericles, Act III., Sc. II. Great griefs, I see, medicine the less. Cymbeline, Act IV., Sc. II. That drug-damn’d Italy hath out-craftied him. Cymbeline, Act III., Sc. IV. One, whose subdu’d eyes, Albeit unused to the melting mood, Drop tears as fast as the Arabian trees Their med’cinable gum. Othello, Act V., Sc. II. Set ratsbane by his porridge. King Lear, Act III., Sc. IV. I had as lief they would put ratsbane in my mouth, as offer to stop it with security. Henry IV—2d, Act I., Sc. II. I would the milk Thy mother gave thee, when thou suck’dst her breast, Had been a little ratsbane for thy sake! Henry VI., Act V., Sc. IV. If you have poison for me I will drink it. King Lear, Act IV., Sc. VII. I have bought the oil, the balsamum and aquavitÆ. Comedy of Errors, Act IV., Sc. I. Give me some aquavitÆ. Romeo and Juliet, Act III., Sc. II.

Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate. While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate. International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org |
