       Epigraph

      To that soft Charm, that Spell, that Magick Bough,

      That high Enchantment I betake me now:

      And to that Hand (the Branch of Heavens faire Tree)

      I kneele for help: O! lay that hand on me,

      Adored Cesar! and my Faith is such,

      I shall be heal’d, if that my King but touch.

      The Evill is not Yours: my sorrow sings,

      Mine is the Evill, but the Cure, the KINGS.

      Robert Herrick, ‘To the King, to cure the Evill’

      (Hesperides, 1648)
