Classic Poem

For art of memory, signs on Planets set,
Teach men themselves, and Planets to forget.
Are plac'd on Sigils, maladies to cure;
By monsters, Ague-like they'r frighted sure.
If 'tis in matter, in all metalls power.
If in the form, the scorpion may devour.
More wisely Theophrast did ╬£¤ë¤ü╬╣╬▒ write
On's Sigil; and for foolery it endite.
