[Thinges that are bitter, bittr'er then gall]

Thinges that are bitter, bittr'er then gall
Phisitians holdeth to bee phisicall
Then womens tonges mee thinkes to powder beaten


Must needes bee soe, yf as a potion eaten
Nothing more bittir is. Therefore I muse
Why they in physick womens tongues nere vse
Faithe prove them Doctors: vse them in a pill:
Thinges oft helpe sick men which doe sound men kill.
