144 THE SALERNE SCHOOLE. 
The Melancholy from the rest do vary, 
Both sport, and ease, and company refusing, 
Exceeding studious, euer solitary, 
Inclining pensiue still to be, and musing, 
A secret hate to others apt to carry: 
Most constant in his choice, tho long a choosing, 
Extreame in loue sometime, yet seldom lustful, 
Suspitious in his nature, and mistrustfull. 
A wary wit, a hand much giuen to sparing, 
A heauy looke, a spirit little daring. 
Now though we gine these humours seueral names, 
Yet all men are of all participant, 
But all haue not in quantity the same, 
For some (in some) are more predominant, 
The colour shewes from whence it lightly came, 
Or whether they haue blood too much or want. 
The watry Flegmatique are fayre and white, 
The Sanguin, Roses joyn’d to Lillies bright, 
The Chollericke more red: the Melancholy, 
Alluding to their name, are swart and colly. 
If Sanguin humour do too much abound, 
These signes will be thereof appearing cheefe, 
The face will swell, the cheeks grow red and round, 
With staring eies, the pulse beat soft and breefe, 
Vnquiet sleeps, that so strange dreames will make 
© cause one blush to tell when he doth wake : 
Besides the moysture of the mouth and spittle, 
Will taste too sweet, and seeme the throat to tickle.
