Alcalie Sal allembroke and Sal attinckarre Sal tartar salt common Sal gem most cleare Salt Peter salt sod of these beware And from the odour of quicksiluer keepe thee farre Meddle not with Mercurie precipitate Neither with imperfect bodies rubificate I prooued vrine eggs haire and blood The soule of Saturne and also of markazite Aes vst and Crokefeere which did me neuer good And the scales of yron which Smithes of smite Litarge and Antimonie not worth a mite Of the which gay tinctures did I shew Both red and white which were vntrew Oyle of lyme and water with labour great I made calcining it with salt preperate And by it selfe with violent heate Grinding with vineger till I was fatigate And also with aqua vitae with spices acuate Vpon a marble Stone which stood me in cost And oyles with corosiues I made but all was lost Manie a Malgame did I make Weening to fixe them to great auaile And thereto Sulphure did I take Tartar egges whites and oyle of the snayle But euer of my purpose did I faile For what for the more and what for the las Euermore something wanting there was Wine and milke oyles and rennyt The slyme of starres that fall on ground Celedonie with Secundines and many mo yet In these I practised as I in bookes found I wan right nought but lost many a pound Of Mercurie and mettalls I made christall stones Weening it had been a worke for the nones Thus I rosted and broyled as one of Gebers cookes Oft times in the asshes my winning I sought For I was deceiued by manie false bookes Whereby vntruth truly I wrought But all such experiments auailed me right nought But brought me in danger and encumbrance By losse of my goods and other greeuance For the loue of our Ladie such lewdnes eschew And medle with no falshood that neuer proued weele Assay when thee
