126 THE SALERNE SCHOOLE. 
If R be in the month, their iudgements erre, 
That thinke that sleepe in afternoone is good, 
If R be not therein, some men tiere are, 
That thinke a little nap breeds no ill blood, 
But if you shall heerein exceed too farre, 
It hurts your health, it cannot be withstood: 
Long sleep at afternoones by stiring fumes, 
Breeds Slowth and Agewes, Aking heads ‘nl Rheums, 
The Moysture bred in Breast, in Iawes, and Nose, 
Are cald Catarrs, or Tysique, or the Pose. 
Great harms haue grown, and maladies exceeding 
By keeping in a little blast of wind, 
So Cramps, and Dropsies, Collicks haue their breeding, 
And Mazed Braines for want of vent behind 
Besides we find in stories worth the reading, 
A certaine Roman Emperor was so kind, 
Claudius by name, he made a ——— i 
A Scape to be no losse of reput 
Great suppers do the stomacke ooh offend, 
Sup light if quyet you to sleepe intend. 
To keepe good dyet, you should neuer feed, 
Vntill you find your stomacke cleane and voide, 
Of former eaten meats, for they do breed 
Repletion, and will cause you soone be cloid, 
None other rule but appetite should need, 
When from your mouth a moisture cleare doth void. 
All Peares and Apples, Peaches, Milke, and Cheese, 
Salt meats, red Deere, Hare, Beefe, and Goat : all these 
Are meats that breed ill blood, and Melancholy, 
If sicke you be, to feed on them were folly.
