should bee T' expell diseases and to keep us free Listen all yee who do desire to know Being once well how to preserve yee so Some do by nature as a poyson hate Tabaco some most foolishly do prate Against it cause they of the former dayes Liv'd long and sound without it Let both these Abstain for 't is not comely or to fight 'gainst prudent Nature or t' infuse a right Mind into him who stubborn does despise His Ancestors being Fools to grow more wise He who does love it let him know his why Not like an imitating Ape let fly At all without or councell or end known Advent'ring upon actions not his own A Generation there be agen Who drink it that they may seem Gentlemen And show their breeding onely who ne're think Whether the things be good or bad they drink It is rustick shamefac'tness and can Never show comely in a well-bred man So have I seen at Christmasse when my Lord Hath set a Clownish Tenant at his board Th' amazed wretch takes all that 's carved him why Because he wanted wit how to deny Tabaco is not an indifferent thing But to the Drinker good or bad does bring First try thy body then and learn to know Whether thy Chimny carry smoke or no Hast thou a great n round head a Front that stāds Like a fair Foreland brawny arms and hands Large Shoulders a broad brest fat Flesh a Tongue That 's ever moist take it and fear no wrong But let o lean men forbear whose Necks are hard Their Foreheads narrow small their head their lard And puddings pinching cheeks that up do rear Their fleshlesse bones and nosthrils that are clear For as the force of p spirits to their brain Comes in but in thin Troops and weak so again When th' smoke appears they all away do run As mists are frighted with the winters Sun Nor set the q ruddy man on whose cheek glowes A flushing that does imitate the Roses Whose breath draws thick and whose coughs frequent are Once touch the Pipe but utterly forswear Both in and all good fellowship for fear He buyes his pleasure at a rate too dean For he a fire already kindled has Within his Lungs and cherisheth alas A Feaver in his heart his own decay And in a lingring flame doth melt away But if to smoke thy love be grown so great That not thy solemn'st vows can conquer it But reason must yeild unto blind desire Take then the r Coltsfoot for his temperate fire Warms but in flames not whose light brushing air Cleanseth the inward Vlcers and makes fair The ſ Cabbin of the Brest Once if thou hast Some hidden cause which makes thy body wast Or if a generall distemper dwels In every ill-affected part or els An active Feaver in thy bloud be found Or thou endur'st the raging of a wound Eschew that Syren-weed Tabaco than Which pleasing kills ' appear to be a man Hard though it be yet from the flatterer run And do not feed thine own destruction Besides all this sometimes it fortunes so That streams of bloud upwards downwards flow In plenteous manner which a death portends Nature having given the reyns unto both ends In such a case what ever happen may Then from the t deadly Bowles fly fly away For thence the current of thy bloud does swell Thy fits of vomiting do grow more fell Till at the last to make an end of wo Thy Life and Lease will out together go But I am here arrested and bid stand By a Writ of Reason seeming with one hand To pluck down what I with the other built And thus I am accused of the guilt u If from Tabaco heavy sleep be sent And sleep a chain to bind the excrement Unjustly then is that condemn'd to be Hurtful which merits praise not obloquie w Know then that in the Indian Herb doth ly A double power a diverse quality The Salt on one hand spurs slow Nature on And like a furious rider makes her run The sleep-creating clouds and sulphurous smother Useth the reyns and stops her on the other But as the lusty and untamed Steed When on the small guts he is made to bleed Flies out inrag'd and scorneth as before To obey the ruling Bridle any more So is it here when the retentive force Begins to fail as 't is with that wild horse Every light touch disorders Nature quite And makes her forward rush with all her might Nor is it easie when she 's at the top Of all her speed quickly to take her up Thus it appears if rightly understood The x spur more harm does then the y bridle good So much it doth conduce to th' good of men T' observe the nature manner and the when With the just measure and the weight of things So bodies gather strength so vertue springs Both by too much or by too little fall What better thing then Wine yet not to all Nor at all howers must it be given For then 'T would hurtfull prove there is a season when 'T is certain death to drink it and agen It maketh mad there is a season when Sometime too large a draught doth take away The reason quite for a whole night and day When if the surfet loseth not his ty The Drunkard dies or at least seems to dy Near is our Pattern blithe Adonis late While he thy Bacchanals did celebrate O King Lenaeus steep'd in wine and sleep The rest of thy Feast under Earth did keep Buried alive supposed dead he was But the next day digg'd up again alas Manifest signes of return'd life were read In'his bloudy hands and in his broken head With knee and elbow he bad fought 'gainst death And in the narrow Coffin lost his breath This can be said 'gainst Wine but against us And our z Art of healing what so barbarous Can be objected by an adversary Who by Tabaco hath been known to dy Or from what man hath it his reason stole In great Feasts rather when the spacious Bowle Keeps order'd rounds if there be any known So desperate that he will with loss of 's own Take others healths and superstitious think T' observe the mad Laws made by' th' State of drink That nor his reason nor his feet decline Give him the Pipe with the hot fuming wine Let him he med'cinall vapour interpose And with the smoke damask his wrinckled nose With an unblemish'd face he then shall rise And with a well-fram'd speech he shall seem wise When the rude multitude who ignorant be Of the soveraign Herb or else incapable Shall carrying Torches in their Nose appear ' Yet stumble too with all the light they bear For even thy a fire Twice-born by th' smoke is staid Thy active rage is by the fume allaid Nor let that envy move that praiseth thee A more strict league and friendship cannot bee Betwixt the Loadstone and the Steel

great things they are which you cōmand Yet if you think these ears to which I speak VVorthy of such great mysteries to partake I will begin But first let libertie Unto those poor sick men be given whom I Beheld not long ago with fetters bound In nasty straw lying upon the ground Haematoës nodded a consent their bands Are loos'd which done creeping on both their hands Bearing the sad marks of their foul disgrace Each in his sullied and unmanlike face Affraid of light like beasts from out a stall Trembling they 'r led into the merry Hall Th' old Father could not hold his tears yet said O my companions live be not dismaid A better fortune waits yee then descries The Pipe here saith he your recovery lies Onely be willing to be cur'd First than Pointing to one thou poor and weak * old man VVhose veins salt Rhewm does fil in stead of blood Whose feeble legs though they have long withstood And wrastled with the Gout do faulter now Whose blear-eyes run and narrower do grow Thou shalt be blind despise my aid imbrace My Art thou shalt see clear as th' Eagles race That said a Cloud of smoke the forthwith blows Into his greazy Cap and clapping close The limber brims unto his head shuts in The old mans face as in a bag t' had bin The biting Smoke into his eyes did go And caus'd a showre of tears from thence to flow All things about him plainer far appear'd And light comes in his Window 's being clear'd And now with ease he able is to say How many Carbuncles themselves display Upon his * Master's rough and cragged nose Who in examination farther goes Asking him what they were how great their number He shows his fingers and replies with wonder So many Strawberries I there do see And such as in our woods are wont to bee The old Blade shook his sides his fellows too Laugh'd out aloud they could none other doe Worthy t'have joynts without one gouty knot Silenus cries come suck but fail you not To close your lips and ope your nosthrils wide That easily the smoke from thence may glide As from a pair of Tunnels he did so The Cave turns round and the man sick does grow He feels a tempest in his belly grumbling And the raw morsels up and down are tumbling In his disorderd Stomack till at last They find the way and up he doth them cast Behold your Gouts destruction he cryed Thus is the humour at the Fountain dryed Twice shalt thou do this in its proper place When th' Moon a lies hid or shines with biggest face Like a full Tide for then the moisture b springs After a dinner of fat Chitterlings The Cisterns purg'd thus the dregs being gone The nourishment will then much purer run Flattering the joynts as it does pass and free From all Malignant reliques will it bee Nor the distorted sinews be grown o're With Chaulkie hardnesse as they were before Then shall thy feet be nimble as thy mind T' out-dance the Satyrs and out-run the wind Yet if there should some foot-steps still remain Of the salt Rhewm fly to thy Pipe again 'T will vanish straight and thou possess from thence A far more active and an able Sense Nor does this soveraign medicine asswage The Gouts sad torment but the Colicks rage It cures the fearfull c stopping of the guts Which 'twixt the Throat Seat no difference puts The swelling of the head it drives away And bribes the d Ears musicians not to play Thus it will do where it a Lover finds That constant is nor like a Coward minds The rivall Chidings of his wife when she 'gainst th' harmlesse smoke venteth her Cruelty Because forsooth their kissing it does sowre And with forc'd rhewm spatters her clean-rub'd floore There was a man as ancient stories tell That on the sea's unwholesome shore did dwell The noisom shore abounded with diseases 'Mong which they say thus one the body seizes First a fierce pain the belly seems to bore But as its violence increaseth more The members all are stretc'd as with a rope Nor any strength remains nor any hope Thus he afflicted Phoebus did implore And Phoebus soon with medicines doth him store But his endeavours all were vanity Till better fortune gave this remedy Tabaco freeing him from pains and fears Hence he ador'd Heav'ns gift and many years In health from former evils did obtain Nor was he more vext with this vanquish'd pain Nor will it suffer that fierce e Friend of Hell Which in a hollow tooth doth love to dwell T' inhabit there but conjures him from thence For when the Humour once is felt to pinch The roots o' th' Teeth and a swoln Cheek forth puts Such as an Ape shows when he cracketh nuts Mouthe but the smoke awhile and thou shalt see Both pain and swelling banished will bee Many griefs else which an ill aire hath bred Here have their cure thus are they vanquished The drilling f showers which from the g Roofs arch'd top Do on the tender h Bellows daily drop Hindring the blasts which keep the flame alive And thickned in the middle Region strive To hang like i Clouds stopping the door o' th' voice Light as gnawn Parchment are in a small trice Taking the powerfull smoke brought forth and there No bur remains but straightway all is cleare Why should I tell yee of the Mumps or bee Troubled to name the Rope invisible The vertiginous disease that sudden Devil Sometimes a prologue to the Falling Evill Or the k Wine-Sicknesse when the wit's i'th'Suds Or l dropping Noses shortly threatning Flouds All these are cur'd by smoke if it be tryed When the disease is ripe and then applyed Nor do there want whose Youth and sinful Arts Have drawn diseases on their hidden parts VVhether the Channels of the Vrine be Coroded by a nitrous spurcity Or bounteous Nature freely doth bestow Her broken meat keeps open House below Let such men too from hence expect their cure Nor let them fear who do the Stone indure From whom the Pot such horrid cries doth hear That it doth wish it had not that one ear VVho m there screw faces and such looks express As does Prometheus on Mount Caucasus I do not play the Poet now nor fain Dreams of Parnassus but my words are plain Known things I speak and such as heretofore My self have felt e're I began t' implore Tabaco's aid e're at my greatest need I found the vertues of th' admired weed For I 'le confess my better days worn out VVith the high-feeding Bacchus and the rout Of drinking Satyrs did my old Vessell fill VVith Leaks and made it subject to that ill To know which pleasure is to cure is more And greater profit VVhat I heretofore Did in my self not without pain indure In others now shall be my joy to cure But seeing there an equall care
