Excerpt from The Works of Francis Beaumont and John Fletcher, Vol. 2: The Elder Brother; The Spanish Curate; Wit Without Money; Beggars' Bush; Humorous Lieutenant Lew. From this idleness Diseases, both in body and in mind, Grow strong upon you, where a stirring nature, 30 With wholesome exercise, guards both from danger. I'd have thee rise with the sun, walk, dance, or hunt, Visit the groves and springs, and learn the virtues Of plants and simples do this moderately, And thou shalt not, with eating chalk or coals, 35 Leather and oatmeal, and such other trash, Fall into the green-sickness.
