chymic
Examples
“Till lastly, when by chymic jolt / And sheer corrosion of the thatch, / What time the withering woodlands moult / My love⟳ shall moult to match⟳, / And all those curls I loved to beg⟳ / For keepsakes on the earth be strewed, / Leaving her cranium like⟳ an egg / Incomparably nude.”
“Less shone the tresses Egypt's princess wore, / Which sweet Callimachus so sung before; / Here courtly trifles set⟳ the world at odds, / Belles war with beaux, and whims descend for gods, / The new machines in names of ridicule, / Mock the grave frenzy of the chymic fool.”
“So the all-seeing sun each day Distills the world with chymic ray.”
