Epig. 13. On the monstrous sin of drunkennesse

That

[a]

Sen. de Tronquil anim.

stoicall sage did drunkennesse prescribe
A salue most sure vnto a quiet minde;
Which spuing potion, most of every Tribe,
Now takes, which workes most brauely, as we finde.
It causeth vomits, doth phlebotomize,
And more, the dumbe doth caule to Rhetorize.
