¶ The Vertues.
The root boiled, or made into pouder and drunke, helpeth the bloudy flix, staieth the laske, and [ A] all other fluxes of bloud in man or woman.
It is reported, that the floures boiled in wine and drunke, do take away the fits of a quartaine a∣gue, [ B] and make the heart merrie.
The leaues and floures farre excell all other strowing herbes, for to decke vp houses, to straw in [ C] chambers, halls, and banqueting houses in the sommer time; for the smell thereof makes the heart merrie, delighteth the senses: neither doth it cause head-ache, or lothsomenesse to meat, as some other sweet smelling herbes do.
The distilled water of the floures dropped into the eies, taketh away the burning and itching [ D] thereof, and cleareth the sight.
