THE SALERNE SCHOOLE. 
Fayre Ladies, if these Physicke rules be true, 
That Rew hath such strange qualities as these, 
Eat little Rew, least your good husbands (REVV) 
And breed betweene you both a shrow’d disease. 
Rew, whets the wit, and more to pleasure you, 
In water boil’d, it rids a roome of fleas. 
I would not to you Ladies, Onyons praise, 
Saue that they make one fayre (Aisclapius saies ) 
Yet taking them requires some good direction, 
They are not good alike for each complexion. 
If vnto Choller men be much inclin’d, 
Tis thought that Onyons are not good for those, 
But if a man be Flegmatique (by kind) 
It does his stomacke good, as some suppose, 
For ointment iuice of Onyons is assign’d 
To heads whose haire falls faster than it growes: 
If Onyons cannot helpe in such mishap, 
A man must get him a Gregorian cap. 
But ifyour hound by hap should bite his master, 
With Honey, Rew, and Onyons make a. plaister- 
The seed of Mustard is the smallest graine, 
And yet the foree thereof is very great, 
It hath a present power to purge the braine, 
Itaddes vnto the stomacke force and heat: 
All poyson it expels, and it is plaine, 
With sugar tis a passing sawce for meat. 
She that hath hap a husband bad to bury, 
~ And is therefore in heart not sad but merry: 
Yet if in shew good manners she will keepe, 
Onyons and Mustardseed will make her weepe.
