A creature is that humane flesh deuoures, <br />From out whose bowels fatnesse may be taken, <br />That being dried by fire, a certaine houres <br />Will waxe as hard, as crust of bread well baken, <br />Which fat dissolued, and with the leane confused <br />Of that bodie, from whom you must it take, <br />May be with skill and industrie so vsed, <br />That a confection thereof we doe make <br />Greatly helping, though it be held no woonder <br />Against all tempest, lightning and thunder.<br /><br />Anonymous Olde English<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-creature-is-that-humane-flesh-deuoures/
