115 course of love ; what drags, what charms, what conjuration, and what mighty magic, I won his daughter with. Brabantio. I vouch again, that with some mixture powerful o'er the blood, or with some dram conjur'd to this effect, he wrought upon her ; " and ^^ If the rascal have not given me medicines to make me love him, I'll be hanged," taken from Falstaff, perhaps has its origin in the same perverted idea. There are some remedies certainly, and some special local irritations which act as prov...ocatives to venereal appetite ; but none which act in any way to produce the sentiment of affection. That not only the ignorant, but persons in the high- est ranks of life, among the nations of antiquity, believed in '^ love- drinks" we have abundant evidence. Ovid and other early writers described these drinks as sometimes affecting the mind and causing death. LucuUus, a celebrated Roman general, was said to have died thus ; and Lucretius, a noted Roman poet, was said to have written one of his most celebrated productions in intervals of de- lirium occasioned by a 'Move-drink." To such an extent was this custom of administering remedies of power through the erroneous notion of their erotic powers, that rigid legal enactments were at length resorted to in some countries for its suppression.
