Mercurial Alchemy

Mercury is alone among the imperfect metals,
fit to receive the tincture of Sol and Luna in the work of the Philosophers' Stone,
and being itself full of tincture can tinge other metals in abundance;
yet ought it (before that) to be full of invisible Sulphur,
that it may be the more coloured with the visible tincture of perfect bodies,
and so repay with sufficient Usury.
