Grauè Condimentum, &c.
Two Gossips lately in contention grewe,Which of the twaine liu'de greatest in esteeme:
And lesse the substance of the other knewe,
Whereby her credit might the better seeme.
Quoth one of them, t'is knowne my charge is such,
In vineger and mustard euery yeare:
Indeed quoth th' other I suppos'd asmuch,
What a deuowring saucie Drabbe you were;
But (which is worse) I heare your Neighbours talke,
The skore runnes yet with Chandlers on the chalke.
