quite a bit of drug taking in the old days

"Yet marked I where the bolt of Cupid fell.

It fell upon a little western flower,

Before, milk-white, now purple with loveโ€™s wound,

And maidens call it โ€œlove-in-idleness.โ€

Fetch me that flower; the herb I showed thee once.

The juice of it on sleeping eyelids laid

Will make or man or woman madly dote

Upon the next live creature that it sees.

Fetch me this herb, and be thou here again
