THE OVERTHROVV OF the Gout Written in Latin verse by Doctor Christopher Balista IMPRINTED AT London by Abraham Ueale dwelling in Paules Church yard at the signe of the Lamb. 1577. TO THE RIGHT Worshipful his very good Frende M. RICHARD MAISTERS Doctor in Phisick and Seruant to her excellent Maiestie SYR I SEND you heer a short treatise of the Gout writen by one Balista a Frenchman and dedicated to a great Phisitian in Fraunce It came by Fortune beeing as I think not any where els to be had into my hands which for the benefit of diuerse my freends troubled with that disease and partely for mine owne recreation that was somthing delighted with the writer in as good maner as I could I Englished The verse in Latin is not very eloquent and therfore no meruail though the translation be rude and vnpleasant But sure his Method and order is not in mine oppiniō to be dissalowed but rather much to be commended I haue noted him in such places as I thought conuenient and would haue farther augmented him but that I thought it not good to be to curious in an other mans woork Such as it is I send it you and commit it to your good allowance and protection Your very loouing freend B. G. ❧ The Ouerthrowe of the GOVTE AGainst the Goute with al her force my minde desires to goe And with a valiaunt hand to fling my darts at this my foe Longe time this beast hath now presumed her wicked force to bend Against that good olde man that doth the Sedun flock defend Diseased sore he lies and able not to stirre a limme So hath the wretche benomd his Joints and so hath plagued him That still he is inforste to keep his house as doth the Snaill O pitious hap and great mischaunce that each man ought to waill It gréeues me to the hart to se the torments that he beares Her crueltie Constrayneth me to staine my chéekes with teares My sorowes doth cōmaund the doutfull hap of Mars to trye Why stand I stil I will assayle the monster presentlye Drawe néere O swéet Redéemer of the World before vndoone Of that moste glorious maiestie the true and only sonne Uouchsafe to giue thy spéeding darts in this my quarrel iust And cause that I with them may throwe this monster in the dust And thou O noble Phillip by all the Gods abooue that be I thée require to showe thy self a man in eche degrée Hope wel for hope auaileth much In driuing gréef away I dout no whit but shortly thou shalt sée a fairer day More hapeneth in an houre somtime then in a thousand yéer And many great commodities in smallest time appéer I trust to driue the Gout vnto the lothsome pit of hel And that thou shalt good Phillip haue thy feet again ful wel Doo you no more but bear in minde the woords that I shall say And these my lessons that I giue doo cary wel away The suttle shackles that this Beast dooth binde the féet withall Podagran all the learnd of Gréece haue euer vsde to call Hence sprang at first the hateful name of this so painful gréef That suddainly the feet unwares assaileth like a theef At first it rageth in the ioynts and then assaults the toes And straight from thence with hastie course vnto the héel it goes And somtimes to the buckle bones where as it swelles and showes With pain while as abundance great of humors thether flowes Somtime the Cod beside that bothe the stones incloseth round Dooth swel withall and hanging lowe it oftentimes is found The causer of this great disease not euermore is one Oft times the parents are the cause it falles the Childe vpon When as the séed but féeble is wherof the frute is wrought For since the root such weakenes hath the plant must néeds he nought Besides to vehement exercise the Gout dooth often bréed Of seruice long in Venus court it likewise dooth procéed The very frame of all the limmes is shaken with this game Eche Sinow eke enféebled is by vsing of the same And Bacchus thou that wunted art the spirits to reuiue Doost vse to hurt the féet of such as in thy seruice striue Of Martiall acts in stately stile did Ennius alwaies write And in his cups did blase the déeds of many a worthy knight Yet of the Gout at last he dyed nor could his verses saue With all the swéetnes that they had their maister from the graue Great hurt beside vnto the ioynts dooth euermore arise Of colde excessiue Idlenes and to much exercise The hart with fury once inflamde dooth kindle presently And fireth all the humors straight that in the body lye Wherby vnbrideled all they rome and raunge in euery place And paining all the Senous sore they vex in pitious case Oft times of thick and clammy fleume this vile disease dooth bréed Somtime again of bothe the sortes of Choler dooth procéed And tomuch blood while as it dooth the tender ioynts oppresse Is many times the onely cause of this vnquietnes Moste gréeu'd with this disease are men the women not so much The cause is plain and euident who listeth it to touch One reason is because that heat in man dooth more excéede Which causeth that the humors pearse the senowes more with spéed Moste subiect to the gout are those that greatest age haue séene And such as with some sicknes great haue long tormented béene And cares of minde and sorowes great doo bréed this gréeuous sore And want of wunted exercise as hath béen said before Let this suffise to showe the spring of such a ●●●lish sprite Now time it is my weapons for to showe and fall to fight And first I wil begin with herb with Juyce and mettals bright And then of stones that serue the turn I craue the aid and might Then Beasts and Birds I set in rank and cause them to restore The weake and wearish limmes of those that lamed were before And last of all my Tables doo I spred with meat and Wine And there the perfect diat for this sicknes doo assigne ¶ First Toutsane vnto thée I giue the cheefest place before That doost deriue thy worthy name of bealing euery sore Thou beaten small and mingled wel with reasons good and sweet In plaister made applyed wel doost heal the féeble feet An herb there is that in the Sun dooth woundrously delight And after him dooth euermore direct her course aright That when be once begins to rise dooth spred and open wide And mourning hangeth down her hed when Westwards he dooth slide This medled wel with sewet of a Gote dooth driue away The Gout the like dooth Balme stamped if to the féet you lay And Ueruen sod in water dooth the féet from sicknes saue Which herb the noble Romans wont in great account to haue The alter fair of Iupiter with this they vsde to swéep And therwith euery corner of their houses sprinkled déep Beside the Herald when he gaue
