128 THE SALERNE SCHOOLE. 
Six things that heere in order shall insue, 
Against all poysons haue a secret poure, 
Peares, Garlick, Reddish-roots, Nuts, Rape, and Rew, 
But Garlicke cheefe, for they that it deuoure, 
May drink, and care not who their drink do brew 
May walk in ayres infected euery houre : 
Sith Garlicke then hath poure to saue from death, 
Beare with it though it make unsauoury breath: 
And scorne not Garlicke like to some, that think 
It onely makes men winke, and drinke, and stink. 
Though all ill sauours do not breed infection, 
Yet sure infection commeth most by smelling, 
Who smelleth still perfumed his complexion 
Is not perfumed by poet Martial’s telling, 
Yet for your lodging roomes giue this direction, 
In houses where you mind to make your dwelling, 
That nere the same there be no euil scents 
Of puddle waters, or of excrements. 
Let ayre be cleare and light, and free from faultes, 
That come of secret passages and vaults. 
If wine haue ouer night a surfet brought, 
A thing we wish to you should happen seeld 
Then early in the morning drinke a draught, 
And that a kind of remedy shall yeeld, 
But gainst all surfets vertue’s schoole hath taught, 
To make the gift of temperance a sheeld : 
The better wines do breed the better humours, 
The worse, are causes of ynwholesome tumors : 
In measure drinke, let wine be ripe, not thicke, 
But cleere and well alaid, and fresh, and quicke.
