This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The king knew her not - The maxim of Bacon in his enigmatical cure is, “Take all you can from the medicine, but give nothing to it; if you give any thing, it increases the disease and hastens death.” I have seen this abundantly verified; but it is a subject on which it would be improper to dilate except in a medical work. An extract from Friar Bacon’s Cure of Old Age may be found at the end of the chapter.
