is a food which, boiled or raw, causes head-aches, hurts the eyes, makes a man dim-sighted, dulls the senses, engenders windyness, and provokes overmuch sleep.

The onion being eaten, yea though it be boyled, causeth head-ache, hurteth the eyes, and maketh a man dimme sighted, dulleth the senses, ingendreth windinesse, and provoketh overmuch sleep, especially being eaten raw

is necessary to a good salad: a spendthrift for oil, a miser for vinegar, a counsellor for salt and a madman to stir it all up.

According to the Spanish proverb, four persons are wanted to make a good salad: a spendthrift for oil, a miser for vinegar, a counsellor for salt and a madman to stir it all up.
