A Referendarie to the Premisses.

NO cookerie is so exquisite, No dish so deintie dressed, But ouercommes the appetite, By gluttonie oppressed: And therefore wise King Salomon Commendeth moderation. No kind of sweete restoritie, Though curiouslie compounded, No instrumentall melodie, In time and measure sounded, But by degrees superlatiue, Offends the vertue sensitiue. Such store of honie is gathered, Heere in this swarming Beehiue, As being often swallowed, So whets the power digestiue, That more and more it coueteth, And neuer faints or surfeteth. Who would not then most hungerlie, Eate plentie of this honie, Which tastes so sweete and sauourlie, And costs so little monie? The vse thereof is generall, God graunt it proue effectuall.
