A cure for Love.
Take a grain of sense, half a grain of Prudence a drackm of understanding, a handful of dislike Mix them together fold them up in your brain for 24 hrs. set them on a slow fire of hatred.
Then strain them clear from dregs of melancholy. Sweeten them with forgetfulness. Put them in the bottle of your heart: stopping them down with the cork of good sound sense. There let them stand for 14 days in the water of cold affection.
This rightly made and properly applied is the most effectual remedy in the universe.
You may have these ingredients at the House of understanding on Constant Street up the hill of self denial in the Town of Loving kindness in the country of Love no more.
