    4) The Nettle
    The nettle is a very useful herb. It is good for making drinks for cows or for feeding young turkeys. There are several cures in it - measles for instance but if you touch it gently it will sting you.
    "If you gently touch a nettle it will sting you for it pains
    Grasp it like a lad of mettle and as soft as silk remains"
