The Melancholic Humour, an Elizabethan Malady Man is the warmest on the first day of his existence, and coldest on the last(Hippocrates). For the Renaissance physician, mans physical being is stayed upon two pillars, which are the radicall heat and moisture. Natural heat, the very source of life, is maintained by moisture as the oyle which is put into the lampes doth mayntayne and feede the flame, but this being consumed day by day must finally give way to the cold and dryness of death….
