142 THE SALERNE SCHOOLE. 
The Spring is moist, of temper good and warme, 
Then best it is to bath, to sweat, and purge, 
one ope a veyne in either arme, 
If boiling blood or feare of Agues vrge, 
Then Venus’ recreation doth no — 
Yet may too much thereof turne to a 
In Summer’s heat (when choller hath ASE UTE: 
Coole meats and moyst are best in some opinion : 
The Fall is like the Spring, but endeth colder, 
With wines and spice the Winter may be bolder. 
Now if perhaps some haue desire to know, 
The number of our bones, our teeth, our veynes, 
This verse ensuing plainely doth it shew, 
To him that to obserue it taketh paines: 
The Teeth thrice ten and two, twice eight a row, 
Eleuenscore bones saue one in vs remaines: 
For veynes that all may vaine in vs appeare, 
veyne we haue for each day in the yeare: 
All these are like in number and connexion 
The difference growes in bigness and imeuplacion, 
Foure Humours raigne within our — wholly, 
ese compared to foure Elem 
The Sanguin, Choller, Flegme, and ie os 
The later two are heauy, dull of se 
The tother are more Jouiall, Quicke, sak Jolly, 
And may be likened thus (without offence) 
Like ayre both warme and moyst, is Sanguin cleare, 
Like fire doth Choller hot and dry appeare, 
Like water, cold and moist (is Flegmatique ), 
The Melancholy cold, dry earth is like.
