The Countrey Media beareth juyces fad,‘

And dulling taftes of happy Citron fruit,

Than which,no helpe more prefent can be had,

If any time lieptnothers worfe than brute

Haue poyfotfd pots, and mingled herbs of {me

with hurtfull charmes : this Citron fruit doth chafe Blaclte venome from the body in euery place. i The tree it felfe in growth is large and big,

And very like in lhew to th’Laurell tree 5

And would be thought a Laurell,leafe and twig,‘ But that the fmellhit cafis doth difagree :

The ﬁoure it holds as fat’: as Home may be: Therewith the Medes a remedy do ﬁride

For {kinking breaths and mouthes,a cure rnoﬂ kinde, And helpe old men which hardly fetch rheirwinde.
