In Parthenopæum, Epig. 87.

That thy Doctor may asswage
Thy Jawes whose cough doth seem to rage
Daily (Parthenopæus) hee
Commands that they shall give to thee
Life-honny, Kernels, and sweet Cakes,
That every Boy unbidden takes.
But day by day thy cough growes more on thee,
This is no cough (I fear) tis Gluttonie.
