" The Love Recipe "

The Love Receipe
Take a grain of Sense, half a grain of Prudence, one drame of Understanding,one ounce of Patience, a pound of Resolution, a handful of Dislike and mix them all together. Apply them all to your brain for 24 hours, then put them down on a slow fire of Hatred. Boil them, strain them, clean from the dregs of Melancholy.Sweeten them with Forgetfulness, then put them in the Bottle of your Heart, stopping them down with a cork of Sound Judgement. Be sure to let them stand 14 days in the water of Cold Affection.
This rightly made and taken in your evening tea is thought to be the most effectual remedy in the universe and has never been known to fail.You may have the ingredients at the house of Understanding in Constant Street, going up the hill of Self Denial in the town of Forgetfulness and the County of Love.
From the 18th century.
