The cloudy mists before dim eyes appearing;

It is tobacco, which hath power to rarify

The thick gross humour which doth stop the hearing;20

The wasting hectic, and the quartan fever,

Which doth of physic make a mockery,

The gout it cures, and helps ill breaths for ever,

Whether the cause in teeth or stomach be;

And though ill breaths were by it but confounded,

Yet that vild[529] medicine it doth far excel,

Which by Sir Thomas More[530] hath been propounded,
