Wit , Learning, Order, Elegance of Phrase,Health, and the Art to lengthen out our dayes,
Phylosophy, Physicke, and Poesie,
And that skill which death loues not, (Surgery)
Walkes to refresh vs, Ayres most sweet and cleare,
A thrifty Table, and the wholsom'st cheare,
All sorts of graine, all sorts of Flesh of Fish,
Of foul, and (last of all) of fruits a seuerall dish:
Good Breakefasts, Dinners, Suppers, after-meales,
The hearbe for Sallards, and the hearbe that heales,
Physitions Counsell, Pottecaries pils,
(Without the summing vp of costly bils.)
Wines that the braine shall nere intoxicate,
Strong Ale and Beere at a more easie rate
Than Water from the Fountaine: cloths (not deere)
For the foure seuerall quarters of the yeere.
Meats both for Protestant and Puritan,
With meanes sufficient to maintaine a man,
If all these things thou want'st, no farther looke,
All this, and more than this, lies in this booke.
