Epigr. 39. in Merum.

Merus doth reconcile Philosophie,
To belies want and backes necessitie.
This Moone will cause much appetite of meat,
The outward colde doubling the inward heate.

128

Shew him your flocke: and he will vndertake,
How many ierkins all their wooll will make.
Shew him an hundred beeues: heele make a plaine
Account, how many dinners they contayne.
Drinke you Tabaccho nere so secretly,
Yet by the smoake heele tell the quantitie.
