are conformed to those Condimentes Then fine they be if most fine be our fare The Goodnesse Quality and Time of yeare Vse Order Appetite and Quantity The Howre and Age these nyne require our care If we desire to liue heere healthfully And make the Soule aboue her soule to fly The soone-concocted Cates good iuyce affoording And but few excrements are those alone That make the mind to boord when Bodi's boording If temp'ratly the stomacke take each one These in the Braines base witts doe oft enthrone For these the Mouth prepareth for the Maw VVhere be'ng concocted to the Liver runne From whence a sanguine tincture they doe draw Then to the Soules Courts hie by Natures lawe The Hart 's the lower house the head the hie The Roomes whereof we did discribe whil-ere Where once appearing they are wing'd to fly And in their flight the Soule and Body steere With motion such as both Coelestiall were What mervell is it then though Geese some be For want of Capons that would Cocks appeare Cocks of the Game and chaunt melodiouslee If with their kinde their Commons did agree How subtill doth a simple cupp of VVine Make the Soules faculties and their effects It makes their divine natures more divine And with a world of Ioy the Hart affects Which Sorrow though in panges of Death reiects Hence comes it that some Captaines doe caâ—rowse When they must Combate with contrary Sects To heate the cold bloud and the spirits rowse And so make Courage most couragious But here as erst was saide some over drinke While they desire in fight to over-doe On nought but wouÌ„ds bloud they speake think While Healthes goe rouÌ„d braines goe rouÌ„der too VVyne-making Bloud to VVine Bloud them wooe But Nequid nimis is the List wherein Courage should combate and the Barre whereto Valor should venter what is more is sinne Which by the wise and Valiant damn'd hath bin Drincke hath three offices The first assists Concoction for in it is boil'd the meate The next to mixe the foode the first disgests The Last to bring it to the Livers heate There to be made redd-hott apt to â—leete Now when the Current is too violent It beares awaie vntimely small and greate So crossing Nature in her kinde intent She back retires not knowing what she meÌ„t Then meate must soak not in the Stomacke swimme If Nature duely we desire to please For when the Stomack 's full aboue the brimme Tyde tarries none how ere it may disease And Nature drowne in those vnruly Seas Breath most corrupt behaviour more then most And Mind much more then most is made by these Then how corrupt are they that of it boast So much corrupt they may infect an Hoast It s said of one that did help to behead The mounting Monastries that deckt this land That he at last lost his all-wittie Head For words he spake to which he could not stand Nor stand to speake VVine having vpperhand Who vsd as Fame reports his wits t'refine To let them often rest at VVines commande But wit abused by abuse of VVine Abusd One that forc'd Law to force his fine Now as a moderation in these things With Iudgements choise in their varieties To Soule and Body health and glorie brings So both are bound to temp'rate exercise For helping them to vse their faculties For without health the same were hindered And health from hence as from an helpe doth rise For holesome labour breakes those humors head By which the enemies of health are led It helpes the heate that helpeth all the parts The Spirits it quickens and puts ope the pores Whereby each loathsome excrement departs As at so many straight wide-open dores Our limbes it strengthens and our breath restores The morning walkes to the intestines send The first digestions filth which kinde abhorres And make the seconds to the bladder wend So labour lets our sicknesse so our end All travell tendes to rest and rest to ease Then must the bodie travell to this end The Spirits travell hath respect to these For idle Spirits that actiue Sp'rit offend That for such ease a world of woe doth send Yet naught was made that was not made to rest But nought was made to rest vntill the end For Heau'n Faith Man Beast Fish Fowle the rest Doe travell in fine to be rest-possest Yet Nature hath ordained a repose Which we call rest for Man which rest is sleepe The cause whereof from the Braines cheefly floes When mounting vapors in their moisture steepe Doe humors wax and in the Nerves doe creepe And so their conducts close which shuts the eies Then rests the corpes in death-like darknesse deepe And Spirits animal Rest doth surprise So are they said to rest vntill they rise This makes the head so heavy after meate The fumes ascending make the head descend For they like hammers on the braines doe beate Til they haue hammerd humors in the end The weight whereof doth cause the head to bend Yet sober sleepes in place and season fit Doe comfort Nature and her hurts amend The Spirits it quickens and awakes the wit For hart must sleepe when the head wanteth it Dead sleepe Deathes other name and Image true Doth quiet Passion calme Griefe Time deceiue Who pay'ng the debt that is to Nature due Like death in quittance thereof doth receiue Supply of powres that her of powre bereaue So sleepe her foes wants friendly doth supply And in her wombe doth wakefull thoughts conceiue Making the Minde beyond it selfe to spie For doubtlesse Dreames haue some divinitie For as the influence of Heavens leames Frames diverse formes in matter corporall So of like influence visions and Dreames Are printed in the powre fantasticall The which power being instrumental By Heav'n disposd to bring forth some effect Hath greatest vigor in our sleepes extreames For when our mindes doe corporall cares neglect That influence doth freely them affect And so our Dreames oft future haps proiect VVatching oremuch oremuch doth Nature wrong It blunts the braines and sense debilitates Dulleth the Spirits breedes crudities among Makes the head heavie Body it abates And kindely heate it cooles or dissipates Yet thorny cares or stings of ceaslesse Smart May keepe out sleepe without the senses Gates By pricking them as it were to the hart Till vitall Sp'rits from senses quite depart Those Chieftaines on whose cares depend the crowns The waighty crownes on their as waighty cares Of mighty Monarches and their owne renownes Two burdens which in one who ever beares Must night and day vse hands legs eies and eares These watch yea sleeping wake for in their sleepes The point on which their harts are fixt appeares And through their closed eies their minds eie peeps To looke to that which them from slumber keepes Their sleepes are short but were they short sweet Nature would longer sweetly life support â—ut in their sleepes
