Of the great commoditie and benefite of Waxe in Medicine. Cap. xxxvj.
WAxe hath a meane among heating things, both in the cooling, drying, and moiſtning, as writeth Galen in the ſeauenth booke of Simples, and 22. {{bl|Chapiter, whiche properly helpeth the roughneſſe of breaſte, when it is ioyned or mixed with the oyle of Uiolets, for that bothe mollifyeth or ſoftneth the ſinewes, ripeneth and reſolueth vlcers. The quantitie of a ​peaſe in waxe ſwallowed downe of Nurſes, or ſuch women as giue ſucke, doth diſſolue the milke courded in the paypes. And tenne little peeces of pure newe maxe, vnto the biggeneſſe of a hempſeede, drunke downe at one time, doeth cauſe the milke not to courde in the womans ſtomacke and breaſtes. If the priuis place or thereabout, or either man or woman, happeneth to ſwell, then by applying an ointment made of white waxe, it ſhortly aſſuageth and healeth the ſame. If anye alſo happeneth to be diſeaſed with the bloudy flixe, be ſtuffing a yong Pigeon with newe waxe, after roſting the ſame, and eating the fleſhe therof, doeth in ſhorte time after ſtaye the ſame. Alſo, if a Quince made hallowe and filled with pure newe waxe, be after roſted vnder hote embers, vntill the ſame be tender, and eaten faſting without drinking after it, doth in like ſorte ſtaye and helpe the perillous flixe, and ſcouring of bloude. The waxe beſides ſerueth to all maner of plaiſters, ointments, ſuppoſitories, and ſuch like.}}

Howe to make Waxe white. Cap. xxxviij.
WAxe is made white in this manner, firſte that kinde of waxe (fit for this purpoſe) ought to be whiter and purer, and broken into little peeces, putte after into a newe earthen panne, pouring vppon it ſufficient ſalt or ſea water, and a lyttle Nitre bruſed, which ſeeth altogither. When the ſame hath boiled twice or thrice vp, remoue the panne from the fire: the waxe being throughtly colde, take forth of the panne, and ſcraping off the filth, if any ſuche hang on, putte againe into newe ſalte water, ſeething it againe. And when the waxe hathe ſo often boyled (as aboue was taughte) then take off the panne from the fire, and taking the bottome of a newe earthen panne, melt it with colde water, whiche dippe by little and little into the waxe, drowning it a little, and the water be aboue the waxe, whereby the waxe maye become verye thinne, and be the ſoomer cooled it ſelfe. And taking by and by oute the moulde or bottome, drawe firſte the rounde cake off, and wetting againe the bottome in colde water, dip it into the waxe, and the ſame ſo long doe, vntill you haue drawne off all that waxe into cakes of like ſorte, whiche after ſtiche throughe with threede, hanging the cakes on a rope one from another, and that in the daye time often wetting them in the Sunne, but in the nighte time, in the Moone light: and ſo long doe this, vntill the waxe be white. And if anye deſireth to haue waxe whiter than this, then let him do the like, as aboue ſaide, but boyle the waxe oftner. Some in ſteede of the ſalte ſea water, take ſtrong Brine water, in whiche they boyle the waxe in the ſame manner twice or thrice, as aboue was taughte. And Paulus Euerdus in his booke of Confections, teacheth the making of waxe white two manner of wayes.

The manner of drawing and making Waxe of the Honny combes. Cap. xxxiiij.
T{{bl|He Honny being drawen from the combes, although ſome Bees hang on them deade, yet putte all togither into a fayre panne or cauldron, into whiche poure ſo muche water or more, as the quantitie of the combes be. This ſet ouer a ſofte fire, vntill the ſame what it be, is throughly heated and molten in the panne, and in the melting continually ſturre the ſame aboute, with a bigge ſplatter or ſome ſtaffe, leaſte the Waxe ​cleaue to the panne ſides, throughe the flame or heate of fire, and appeare burned: after poure the whole ſubſtaunce into a courſe hairen bagge, preſſing it forth into a troughe or other like veſſell, made for the only purpoſe, on which poure twoo or three kettles full of hote water, that no dregs hang after on the Waxe, and by that means ſhall you haue the Waxe both pure and cleane. But if you wil haue if caſte into faire round cakes, and to be cleaner and purer, then melte the Waxe againe, and being molten, poure it into a cleane veſſell, which waſhed likewiſe with warme water (as aboue was taught) ſet after in the Sunne, by which meanes, the cake will continue verye long faire of coloure.}}

Of the vnperfect Bees, which men properly name Drone Bees. Cp. iiij.
THe Drone Bees (as writeth Plinie) are vnperfect Bees, without ſting, and the leaſt weary, yet be they verye heauy of body, and ſlow in doing their buſineſſe. They alſo doe the ſeruices and trauells of the Bees, although the right and perfect Bees doe rule and gouerne them, yea and put them formoſt in their laboures, ſo that if they happen to be ſlow in their doings, then doe the right Bees puniſh them without pitie. Alſo theſe doe helpe the right Bees, ſo well in their workes as in their breeding, for y the multitude of them, cauſe the more heat and warmeth togither. And nowe muche the greater the multitude of them ſhall be, and ſo muche more will the increaſe come of the ſwarme. When the hony warmeth ripe, them are the Drone Bees driuen forth, and the kinde alſo of theſe are onely ſeene abroade in the Spring time.

Of that whych is a ſtay of the combes, and made for a defence of Bees from colde. Cap. xxxvij.
THe ſame made of Bees at the entrie of the mouth of hiues, oughte to be yelowe of coloure, and ſweete ſmelling, like to Storax, and drawne into a length, like to Maſtike. Yet that is rather choſen, bycauſe in heating and drawing it is principalleſt. For of itſelfe, this draweth forth thornes of ſplents of wood run deepe into the fheſh by applying it plaiſterwiſe on the grief, it helpeth an olde coughe by making a ſmoake thereof, and holding the mouth ouer it, and applyed in the forme of an ointment of ringwormes, doeth ſpeedily heale them. Nowe this matter (as aboue was taught) is the ſtay of the hony combes, by whiche Bees ſtoppe and keepe forth al manner of colde and other annoyances which might endamage them, the ſame alſo being of ſo ſtrong a ſauour, that ſome vſe it in the ſteede of Galbanum. M. Varro nameth it a refuge of Bees, withoute their cottages, bicauſe Bees make the ſame at the entry of the hiue.

Whether the Bees drawe breath, or haue any bloud in them. Cap. v.
NOw ſome affyrme, that the clouen beaſts draw no breth, in that they haue not the fan of the hart, which is y lights or lungs, for as they write, nothing without them can breath. But Ariſtotle writeth, that the ſame poſſible among Bees, hauing the ſting (although they haue no bladder) to breath by their ſting. And the Bees haue no bloude, bicauſe they haue neither hart nor lungs: yet Plinie affirmeth, that nothing done by nature may be thought or iudged incredible: for the ſame is fully perſuaded in wiſe mē, that the Bees haue a certain liuely moiſture, like as the Cuttle in the Sea, which hath a kinde of ynke in it, and is as the iuyce of it, with the whiche the Diers (at this day) do make their Purple colour.

Howe you may make redde Waxe. Cap. xxxix.
That you maye colour and make Waxe redde, take to one pounde of waxe, three ounces of verye cleare Turpentine, if it be in ſommer, but if it be in winter, then take foure ounces. Now theſe diſolue and melt togither ouer a ſoft fire, and taking it from the fire, let it coole a little, after which put in your Uermillian finely ground on a Marble ſtone, and of ſweete Salet Oyle, of eache one ounce, mixing theſe well, ſtirre al togither, diligently. But ſome in ſteede of Uermilion, doe take the reede leade, which is little commended, except there be three times ſo muche of the redde leade, as of the Uermilion putte in. And in the like ſorte may you make the greene Waxe, if inſteede of the Uermillian, you take ſo much of the greene Coporas finely ground, as you did of the Uermilian.

Another waye of drawing the Oyle of Waxe moſte noble, and doth maruelouſly help the cold Goute, the Sciaticke, the ſwelling of the legs, and al other griefes proceeding of a colde cauſe. Cap. xlj.
TAke of pure newe waxe ſo muche as you pleaſe, which put into a panne ouer the fire to melte, and being molten, haue by you in a readineſſe another panne well glaſed, and cleane within, filled with verie good and perfecte wine, into whiche poure youre molten waxe, letting it ſoake and drinke in well, and waſhe often in the ſaide wine. After this take the waxe forth, melting it againe ouer the fire, and molten, waſhe the ſame againe in the beſte wine, ſo that euerie time melting the waxe, poure it into freſhe new wine, waſhing and ſoaking it in the ſame diligently, after wringing it very wet with the hands. And vſed on this wiſe, both melt and waſhe againe in the aboue ſaide manner, and this alſo do for eighte times togither. Then ſet the ſame forth, being a cleare ſeaſon and ayre, all the nighte throughe, after which put the waxe into a Retorte with a little of Mumia, and oyle of Ypericon or Saint Johns wort, and a little olde Oyle: and although without theſe it maye doe good, yet mixed with theſe it worketh farre better, than vſed alone.
Nowe to retourne to the former matter, this crooked bodye or Retorte ſet in fine ſifted aſhes, and a gentle fire made vnder it, vntill all the oyle do runne forth, and in this comming forth of the oile, ſhall appeare all the foure Elements, as Ayre, Water, Earth and Fyre, whiche will orderly appeare in the receiuer, right maruellous to ſee. And the Oyle being thus fullye drawne, worketh miraculouſlye in all diſeaſes which proceed of a colde cauſe, like as we haue aboue taught.

AL JOLSON in A Plantation Act 359
Al Jolson
Al Jolson Wait a minute, wait a minute. Give me a chance, folks. Ahahaha! You ain't heard nothin' yet—you ain't heard a thing. And, now, ladies and gentlemen, I'm gonna sing you a little song I haven't sung for about two or three years—a little ballet. I think you'll like it. "April Showers", if you please, professor.
Al Jolson
Al Jolson Wait a minute, wait a minute. You ain't heard nothin' yet—you ain't heard a thing. And now, ladies and gentlemen, I'm gonna sing you a little song that the ruler folks love to hear me sing. It's a little mammy song. And, very funny thing—people have been making fun of mammy songs, and I don't really think that it's right that they should. Why, after all, mammy songs are the fundamental songs of our country. And, not only that, you take John McCormack. John McCormack, the famous radio singer—he sings "Mother Machree", and that's a merry song. And folks, he ain't bad. So if you don't mind, I'm gonna sing you my little mammy song—"Rock-a-Bye Your Rock-a-Bye Baby with a Dixie Melody", if you please.

# A Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature/Keble, John

​Keble, John (1792-1866).—Poet and divine, s. of the Rev. John K., Vicar of Coln St. Aldwyn's, Gloucestershire, b. at Fairford in the same county, ed. by his f. and at Oxf., where he ​was elected a Fellow of Oriel Coll., and was for some years tutor and examiner in the Univ. His ideal life, however, was that of a country clergyman, and having taken orders in 1815, he became curate to his f. Meantime he had been writing The Christian Year, which appeared in 1827, and met with an almost unparalleled acceptance. Though at first anonymous, its authorship soon became known, with the result that K. was in 1831 appointed to the Chair of Poetry at Oxf., which he held until 1841. In 1833 his famous sermon on "national apostasy" gave the first impulse to the Oxf. movement, of which, after the secession of Newman to the Church of Rome, he, along with Pusey, was regarded as the leader, and in connection with which he contributed several of the more important "tracts" in which were enforced "deep submission to authority, implicit reverence for Catholic tradition, firm belief in the divine prerogatives of the priesthood, the real nature of the sacraments, and the danger of independent speculation." His f. having d., K. became in 1836 Vicar of Hursley, near Winchester, where he remained until his death. In 1846 he pub. another book of poems, Lyra Innocentium. Other works were a Life of Wilson, Bishop of Sodor and Man, and an ed. of the Works of Hooker. After his death appeared Letters of Spiritual Counsel, and 12 vols. of Parish Sermons. The literary position of K. must mainly rest upon The Christian Year, Thoughts in Verse for the Sundays, and Holidays throughout the Year, the object of which was, as described by the author, to bring the thoughts and feelings of the reader into unison with those exemplified in the Prayer Book. The poems, while by no means of equal literary merit, are generally characterised by delicate and true poetic feeling, and refined and often extremely felicitous language; and it is a proof of the fidelity to nature with which its themes are treated that the book has become a religious classic with readers far removed from the author's ecclesiastical standpoint and general school of thought. K. was one of the most saintly and unselfish men who ever adorned the Church of England, and, though personally shy and retiring, exercised a vast spiritual influence upon his generation.
