Although you may drinke often while you dine,
Yet after dinner touch not once the cup,
I know that some Physicions do assigne
To take some liquor straight before they sup:
But whether this be meant by Broth or wine,
A controversie 'tis not yeat tane up:
To close your stomack well, this order sutes,
Cheese after Flesh, Nuts after Fish or Fruits,
Yet some have said, (beleeve them as you will)
One Nut doth good, two hurt, the third doth kill.
(Sir John Harrington, The Englishmans Doctor, or the School of Salerne)

А вообще, это прекрасное пособие по диетологии в стихах, написанное изобретателем унитаза, можно цитировать с любого места.

Six things that here in order shall insue,
Against all poysons have a secret powre,
Peares, Garlick, Reddish-roots, Nuts, Rape, & Rew,
But Garlicke cheefe, for they that it deuour,
May drink, and care not who their drink do brew,
May walke in ayres infected every houre:
Sith Garlieke then hath powre to save from death,
Beare with it though it make unsavory, breath:
And scorne not garlicke like to some that thinke
It onely makes men winke, and drinke, and flinke.
