But if at last he doth come, it is when the wound's festered, the Ague in the blood, or that the body is incurable. So far was he concern'd in looking after that Love-apple, or Night-shadow, for the cure of his own burning distemper.
I was going to be near Margaret, and, so rejoicing, bethought me of the hapless Roman's "Infelix, properas ultima nosse mala." And what did that matter either? I rubbed myself the colour of a love-apple, humming the while old-time ditties long since driven out of my head by the Latin rubbish. Jack was right. Of course it was rubbish.

The brown and Egyptian coss are sown in August, and commonly stand the winter; and in the spring are fit for use. LOVE-APPLE. Solanum Lycopersicum. The Portuguese and Spaniards are so very fond of this fruit, that there is not a soup or gravy but what this makes an ingredient in; and it is deemed cooling and nutritive. It is also called Tomatas, or Tomatoes.
All these are very useful, either pickled by themselves, or mixed with any other substances, as love-apple, radish pods, &c. to which they impart a very fine warm flavour. CARROT. Daucus Carota. The Orange Carrot. For winter use. The Early Horn ditto. For summer use. The former is usually sown in March; the latter being smaller, and more early, is commonly raised on hot-beds.
