so, I note a passage in a poem ("Appleton
House") by our own English poet Marvell, which it is of interest
to quote:--

"And now the careless victors play,
Dancing the triumphs of the hay,
When every mower's wholesome heat
Smells like an Alexander's sweat.
Their females fragrant as the mead
Which they in fairy circles tread,
When at their dance's end they kiss,
Their new-mown hay not sweeter is."

FOOTNOTES:

[30] R. Andree, "Voelkergeruch," in _Ethnographische Parallelen_, Neue
Folge, 1889, pp. 213-222, brings together many passages describing the
odors of various peoples. Hagen, _Sexuelle Osphresiologie_, pp. 166 et
seq., has a chapter on the subject; Joest, supplement to _International
Archiv fuer Ethnographie_, 1893, p. 53, has an interesting passage on the
smells of various races, as also Waitz, _Introduction to Anthropology_, p.
103. Cf. Sir H.H. Johnston, _British Central Africa_, p. 395; T.H. Parke,
_Experiences in Equatorial Africa_, p. 409; E.H. Man, _Journal of the
Anthropological Institute_, 1889, p. 391; Brough Smyth, _Aborigines of
Victoria_, vol. i, p. 7; d'Orbigny, _L'Homme Americain_, vol. i, p. 87,

of death.

of exposure involved by sexual intercourse is itself a cause of nasal
congestion and sneezing.
