It is said that a hind taught first the virtue of diptannus, for she eateth this herb that she may calve easilier and sooner; and if she be hurt with an arrow, she seeketh this herb and eateth it, which putteth the iron out of the wound. And ash hath so great virtue that serpents come not in shadow thereof in the morning nor at even.
