THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
“TREACLE."
HOSE who have stumbled
across the reference in
Waller’s ode to Charles
II to "treacle yielded by your
vipers” have naturally been
puzzled to see the connection
between a poisonous snuke and
the English name for sirup or
molasses, a connection which
dates back to the days of
legendary lore.
“Treacle” was originally a
Greek word and. wrapped up I d
it, was the once popular belief
that the best antidote for the
sting of a snake was a concoc
tion made from the tissues of
the snake itself—a sort of “hair
of the dog is good for the bite”
idea. Milton speaks of the sov
ereign “treacle of sound doc
trine,” while “Venlce-treacle” or
"viper wine" was a common
name for a supposed antidote
against all poison^ Treacle,
meaning first this antidote, was
first broadened in meaning to
include any cure through rnedi-
Cice; then coniraçtçy to mean
only those fiji-u id nes: wiiicîi
were of a sweet sirup natur
,T to

and. finally, restricted
particular sirup which is called
by that name today—a sirup
which, however, has no medici
nal proj>erties whatever.

Twas Captain Go-and-Do, the man
Who served his flag in F i an ce;
And well and wisely he could plan
Just liow men should advance.
As brave as any soldier true,
No fight he ever won—
He didn’t know that Go-and-Do
Gets very little done.
Another captain came back home
With honors that they gave,
Came proudly sailing o’er the foam,
The idol of the brave.
(No braver man than Go-and-Do)
They hailed him Marne to Metz—
The .other captain of the two
Was Captain Come-o’n-Lets.
