Epig. 18. To his lo: Cosin H. Price, of Neptunes Purgation.

If thou art sicke, and wouldst a vomit take;
If thou art well, and willing wouldst be sicke.
The sea for both will thee a med'cine make,
Killing the whole, the dead reviving 'quicke.
This brackish purge excels farre Hellobore,
For nought, besides perbraking, pai'st therefore.
