Summer and the Winter Spring and F●ll In euery one of these the rule of season Bids keepe good dyet suting euery season The Spring is moist of temper good and warme Then best it is to bath to sweat and purge Then may one ope a vaine in either arme If boyling bloud or feare of Agues vrge Then Venus recreation doth no harme Yet may too much thereof turne to ● scourge In Summers heat when choller hath dominion 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 bee bolde● Now if perhaps some haue desire to know The number of our bones our teeth our veyne● 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 A vaine we haue for each day in the yeare All these are like in number and connexion The difference growes in bignes and complexio● Four Humors raigne within our bodies wholy And these compared to foure Elements The Sanguin Choller Flegme and Melancholly The later two are heauy dull offence The tother are more Iouiall quicke and Iolly And may be likened thus without offence Like ayre both warme and moyst is Sangui● clear Like fi●e doth Choller hot and dry appeare Like water cold and moist is Fleg matique The Melancholy cold dry earth is like Complexions cannot vertue breed or vice Yet may they vnto both giue inclination The Sang●in gamesome is and nothing nice Loues wine and women and all recreation Likes pleasant tales and newes plaies cards and ●ice Fit for all company and euery fashion Though bold not apt to take offence not i●● full But bountifull and kind and looking chearefull Inclining to be fat and proue to lafter Loues myrth and Musick cares not what comes after Sharpe Choller is an humour most pernitious All violent and fierce and full of fire Of quicke conceit and therewithall ambitious Their thoughts to greater fortunes still aspyre Proud bountifull enough yet oft malicious A right bold speaker and as bold a lyer On little cause to anger great inclin'd Much eating stil yet euer looking pin'd In younger yeares they vse to grow apace In Elder hayry on their breast and face The Fl●gmatique are most of no great growth Inclining rather to be fat and square Giuen much vnto their ease to rest and sloth Content in knowledge to take little share To put themselues to any paine most loth So dead their spirits so dull their sences are Still either sitting like to folke that dreame Or else still spitting to avoid the flegme One quality doth yet these harmes repayre That for most partthe Fl●gmatique are fayre The Melancholy from the rest do var●y Both sport and ease and company refusing Exceeding studious euer sollitary Inclining pensiue still to be and musing A secret hate to others apt to carry Most constant in his choise tho long a choosing Extreame in loue sometime yet seldome lustfull Suspitious in his nature and mistrustfull A wary wit a hand much giuen to sparing A heauy looke a spirit little daring Now thogh we giue these humors seueral names yet all men are of all participant But all haue not in quantity the same For som● 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 ioyn'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 round With staring 〈◊〉 the pulse bear soft and breefe The vaines exceed the belly will be bound The Temples and the fore-head full of griefe Vnquiet sleeps that so strange dreames will make To cause one blush to tell when he doth wake Besides the moysture of the mouth and spittle Will tast too sweet and seeme the throat to tickle If Choller do exceed as may sometime your eares will ring and make you to be wakefull your tongue will seeme all rough and oftentimes Cause vomits vnaccustomed and hatefull Great thirst your excrements are full of slime Tho stomacke squeamish sustenance vngratefull your appetite will seeme in nought delighting your hart still greeued with continuall by ●ing The pulse beat hard and swift all hot extreame your spittle soure of fire-worke oft your dreame If Flegme abundance haue due limits past These signes are here set downe wil plainly shew The mouth will seeme to you quite out of tast And apt with moisture still to ouerflow your sides will seeme all sore downe to the wast your meat wax loathsome you● disgestion slow your head and stomacke both in so ill taking One seeming euer griping tother aking With empty vaines the pulse beat slow and soft In sleepe of Seas and Ryuers dreaming oft But if that dangerous humor ouer-raigne Of Melancholy sometime making mad These tokens then will be appearing plaine The pulse beat hard the colour darke and bad The water thin a weake fantasticke braine False-grounded-ioy or else perpetuall fa●● Affrighted oftentimes with dreames like visions Presenting to the thought ill apparitions Of bitter belches from the stomacke comming His eare the left especiall euer humming Against these feuerall humors ouerflowing As seuerall kinds of Physicke may be good As diet-drink hot baths whence sweat is growing With purging vomiting and letting blood Which taken in due time nor ouerflowing Each Malladies infection is withstood The last of these is best if skill and reason Respect age strength quantity and season Of seuenty from seuenteene if blood abound The opening of a vaine is healthfull found Of Bleeding many profits grow and great The spirits and sences are renewed thereby Thogh these mend slowly by the strength of meat But these with wine restor'd are by and by By bleeding to the Marrow commeth heat It maketh cleane your braine releeues your eie It mends your appetite restoreth sleepe Correcting humors that do waking keepe All inward parts and sences also clearing It mends the voyce touch smel tast hearing Three speciall Months September Aprill May There are in which t is good to ope a vain In these 3. months the Moon bears greatest sway Then old or young that store of blood containe May bleed now though some elder wizards say Some daies are ill in these I hold it vaine September Aprill May haue daies a peece That bleeding do forbid and eating Geese And those are they forsooth of May the fi●st Of ●other two the last of each are worst But yet those da●es I graunt and all the rest Haue in some cases iust impediment As first if nature be with cold opprest Or if the Region I le or Continent Do scorch or freez if stomacke meat detest If Baths or Venus late you did frequent Nor old nor young nor drinkers great are fit Nor in long sicknes nor in raging fit Or in this case if you will venture bleeding The quantity must then be most exceeding When you to bleed intend you must prepare Some needfull things both after and before Warme water and sweet oyle both needfull are And wine the fainting spirits to restore Fine binding cloths of Linnen and beware That all that morning you do sleepe no more Some gentle motion helpeth after bleeding And on light meats a spare and temperat feeding To bleed doth ●heare the pensiue and remoue The raging furies bred by burning loue Make your incision large and not to deepe That blood haue speedy yssue with the sume So that from sinnewes you all hurt do keepe Nor may you as I toucht before presume In six ensuing●houres at all to sleepe Lest some slight bruise in sleep cause an apostume Eat not of milke not ought of milk compounded Nor let your brain with much drink be cōfoūded Eat no cold meats for such the strength impayre And shun all mis●y and vnwholesome ayre Besides the former rules for such as pleases Of letting blood to take more obseruation Know in beginning of all sharpe diseases T is counted best to make euacuation To old to young both letting blood displeases By yeares and sicknes make your computation First in the Spring for quantity you shall Of blood take twice as much as in the fall In Spring and Summer let the right arm bl●od The Fall and Winter for the left are good The Hart and Lyuer spring summers bleeding The Fall and winter hand and foot doth mend One vaine cut in the hand doth helpe exceeding Vnto the Splene voice brest and Intrailes lend And swages grieses that in the hart are breeding But here the Salerne Schoole doth make an end And heere I cease to write but will not cease To wish you liue in health and die in peace And ye our Physicke rules that friendly read God graunt that Physicke you may neuer
