The Lowest Trees Have Tops -- Edward Dyer

Guest poem submitted by Stephen Martin:
(Poem #1839) The Lowest Trees Have Tops
 The lowest trees have tops, the ant her gall,
 The fly her spleen, the little spark his heat;
 The slender hairs cast shadows, though but small,
 And bees have stings, although they be not great;
     Seas have their source, and so have shallow springs;
     And love is love, in beggars and in kings.

 Where waters smoothest run, there deepest are the fords:
 The dial stirs, yet none perceives it move;
 The firmest faith is found in fewest words,
 The turtles do not sing, and yet they love;
     True hearts have ears, and eyes, no tongues to speak:
     They hear, and see, and sign, and then they break.
-- Edward Dyer
Sir Edward Dyer (1543?-1607) was a friend of Sidney and Spenser. He was also
Elizabeth's ambassador to the Danish court for a while and, according to
Ashmole's Theatrum Chemicum Britannicum, an associate of Dr Dee and Edward
Kelley, travelling alchemical chancers of their day. (Not that I really know
this, but I clicked on the links that might suggest I do).

The poem stands like an oak in a wood.  What did he have to sign, I wonder?

Penyakit ini umumnya muncul karena penderita mengejan terlalu keras pada saat buang air besar. Dengan mengejan terlalu keras, maka pembuluh darah di sekitar anus dapat melebar dan pecah menimbulkan infeksi dan pembengkakan yang berakhir pada masalah wasir atau ambeien tersebut.

Kutil pada alat kelamin luar bisa diangkat melalui laser, krioterapi (pembekuan) atau pembedahan dengan bius lokal. Pengobatan kimiawi, seperti podofilum resin atau racun yang dimurnikan atau asam trikloroasetat, bisa dioleskan langsung pada kutil. Tetapi pengobatan ini memerlukan waktu beberapa minggu sampai beberapa bulan, bisa melukai kulit di sekelilingnya dan sering gatal.
