See Molière, Le malade imaginaire (first performed
in 1673), 'Troisième intermède': 'Mihi a docto Doctore Domandatur causam et rationem quare Opium facit dormire: A quoi respondeo, Quia est in eo Virtus dormitiva', i.e. 'I am asked by the learned Doctor the cause and reason why opium makes people sleepy: to which I reply, because there is a soporific quality in it.' |
