Insuite me defunctam in corio cervino, ac deinde in sarcophago lapideo supponite, operculumque ferro et plumbo constringite, ac demum lapidem tribus cathenis ferreis et fortissimis circundantes, clericos quinquaginta psalmorum cantores, et tot per tres dies presbyteros missarum celebratores applicate, qui feroces lenigent adversariorum incursus.

Poems, 1799 Robert Southey 1808
[Footnote 23: A yellow-lake made from the unripe berries of the spin cervino, a sort of brier.]
