Melancholy.
— Melancholy from the splene begunne,By passion mou'd, into the vaines doth runne:Which when this humour as a swelling floud,By vigour is infused in the bloud,The vitall spirits doth mightily appall,And weakeneth so the parts Organicall,And when the sences are disturb'd and tir'd,With what the heart incessantly desir'd·Like trauellers with labour long opprest,Finding reliefe, eftsoones they fall to rest.M. Drayton.
Thou nursing mother of faire wisedomes lore,Ingenious Melancholy.I. Marston.
Those men to Melancholy giuen, we Saturnists do call.ƲƲ. Warner.
