138 THE SALERNE SCHOOLE. 
Though Violets smell sweet, Nettles offensiue, 
Yet each in seuerall kind much good procure, 
The first doth purge the heauie head and pensiue, 
Recouers surfets, Falling sickness cures. 
Tho Nettles stinke, yet make they recompence, 
If your bellie by the Collicke paine indures : 
Against the Collicke Nettle-seed and Honey, 
Is Physicke; better none is had for mone 
It breedeth sleep, staies vomits, flegme doth soften, 
It helpes him of the Gowt that eats it often. 
Cleane Hysop is an herbe to purge and cleanse, 
Raw flegmes, and hurtfull humours from the breast ; 
The same vnto the Lungs great comfort lends, 
With Honey boil’d: but farre aboue the rest, 
It giues good colour, and complexion ee 
And is therefore with women in reque 
With Honey mixt, Cinguefoyle cures roe Canker, 
That eats our inward parts with cruel ranker, 
But mixt with Wine, it helpes a greeued side, 
And staies the vomit, and the Laske beside. 
Ellecompane strengthens each era Ane 
A little looseness is thereby prouo 
It swageth greefe of mind, it ‘sick the heart, 
- Great helpe to those that haue their bellies broken. 
Let them that vnto choller much os 
Drink Penny-royal steeped in their 
And some affirme, that they haue pein wy trial 
The paine of Gowt is cur’d by Penny-royal.
