balm (v.)
Not all the water in the rough rude sea
Can wash the balm off from an anointed king.
Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there?
Methought I heard a voice cry, "Sleep no more!
Macbeth does murder sleep!" the innocent sleep,
Sleep that knits up the ravell'd sleave of care,
The death of each day's life, sore labour's bath,
Balm of hurt minds, great nature's second course,
Chief nourisher in life's feast.
