SYR THOMAS MOORE HIS receipt for a strong breath translated owt of his Latin Epigrames.

First for a strong sauoure stincking, a leeke may be taken:
That sent too bannish, thee best is an Onion eaten.
And toe repeal lykwise that sauoure, garlik is holsoom.
Jf that theese simples wyl not thee filthod abandon,
A rose, or els nothing that drafty infirmitye cureth.
