¶ The Names.
This Illyrian Crow foot is named in Greeke 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, that is, Apium syluestre, or wilde Smallage: also Herba Sardoa: it may be, saith my Author, that kinde of Crowfoot called 〈◊〉〈◊〉 risus, and 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉; and this is thought to be that Golotophillis, of which Pliny maketh mention in his 24. booke, 17. chap. which being drunke, saith he, with wine and myrrh, causeth a man to see diuers 〈◊〉〈◊〉 sights, and not to cease laughing till he hath drunke Pine apple kernells with Pepper in 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of the Date tree, (I thinke he would haue said vntill he be dead) because the nature of laughing Crow∣foot is thought to kill laughing, but without doubt the thing is cleane contrary; for it 〈◊〉〈◊〉 such convulsions, cramps and wringings of the mouth and jawes, that it hath seemed to some that the partyes haue dyed laughing, whereas in truth they haue died in great torment.
