To conclude, if God give you success, use it humbly and far from revenge. If He restore you upon hard conditions, whatever you promise, keep.
—Charles I’s final letter to his son, Charles, Prince of Wales, 1649
’Twill make Old women Young and Fresh;
Create New-Motions of the Flesh,
And cause them long for you know what,
If they but Tast of Chocolate.
—Chocolate: or, An Indian Drinke, translated by James Wadsworth, 1652
