THE SALERNE SCHOOLE. 
Some loue at meals to drink small draughts and oft, 
But fancie may heerein, and custome gui 
If egges you eat they must be new and soft, 
In peaze good qualities, and bad are tryed, 
To take them with the skin that growes aloft, 
They windie be, but good without their hide. 
In great consumptions learn’d physitians thinke, 
Tis good a Goat or Camel’s milke to drinke, 
Cowe’s milke and Sheepes do well, but yet an Ass’s, 
Is best of all, and all the other passes. 
Milke is for Agewes and for Headache naught, 
Yet if from ague’s fit you feel you free, 
Sweet-Butter wholsome is, as some haue taught, 
To cleanse and purge some paines that inward be: 
{ Whay, though it be contemn’d, yet it is thought, 
To scoure, and clense, and purge in due degree: 
{1 For healthy men may cheese be wholsome food, 
But for the weake and sickly ’tis not good, 
Cheese is an heauie meat, and grosse, and cold, 
And breedeth costiuenesse both new and old.

Cheese makes complaint that men on wrong suspitions 
Do slander it, and say it doth such harme, 
That they conceale his many good conditions, 
How oft it helpes a stomacke cold to warme, 
How fasting tis prescrib’d by some physitians, 
To those to whom the flux doth giue alarm : 
We see the better sort thereof doth eate, 
For hunger eate it to releeue their want.
