. The myths and fables of to-day; . y interrupted in his legitimateoccupations. A Doctor Young, who in the account re- ^ In Farmer and Moofes Collections, i., 136, io8 Myths and Fables ferred to is described as having been an emi-nent practitioner for more than forty yearsin the town, is said to have declared that in-fants afflicted with scrofulous diseases, tumorsand the like, too obstinate to yield to medicalaid, did unquestionably receive almost im-mediate relief from the heahng hand of Lieu-tenant Robbe. The wonderful healer continued to practisehis semi-miraculous treatment until he was nolonger able to raise his hands, but even then, so eager were the applicants, many of whomcame from a distance, not to be disappointed, that the feeble hands were lifted for him tothe sufferers head.

In A Lovers Complaint, Shakespeare sets109 iio Myths and Fables forth, as understood in his day, Each stonesdear nature, worth, and quahty. We accept, therefore, without reserve, as astarting point his dictum that — • paled pearls, and rubies set in blood indicated two extremes of passion, namely, shrink-ing modesty and bold desire. He then goes onto describe the other symbolical gems
