TERA Pee a eres ree eee 
THE SALERNE SCHOOLE. 
To tell all Cresses’ virtues long it were, 
But diuers patients vnto that are debter, 
It helpes the teeth, it giues to bald men haire, 
With Honey mixt, it Ringworme kills and Tettar : 
But let not women that would children beare, 
Feed much thereof, for they to fast were better. 
An herbe there is takes of the Swallowes name, 
And by the Swallowes gets no little fame, 
For Pliny writes (tho some thereof make doubt), 
It helps young Swallowes eies when they are out. 
Greene Willow though in scorne it oft is vs’d, 
Yet some there are in it not scornfull parts, 
It killeth wormes, the iuice in eares infus’d, 
With Vinegar: the barke destroyeth warts. 
But at one quality I much haue mus’d, 
That addes and bates much of his good desertes, 
Take Saffron if your heart make glad you will, 
But not too much, for that the heart may kill. 
Greene Leekes are good as some Physitians saie, 
Yet would I choose, how ere I them belieue, 
To weare Leekes rather on Saint Dauid’s day, 
Than eat the -Leekes vpon Saint Dauid’s Eue. 
The bleeding at the nose Leeke’s iuice will stay, 
And women bearing children, much releeue. 
{ Blacke Pepper beaten grosse you good shall find 
If cold your stomacke be, or full of wind : = 
White Pepper helps the cough, and flegme it riddeth, 
And Ague’s fit to come it oft forbiddeth.
