Push Pin Monthly Graphic #18, Spices

Spices, a holiday issue of the Push Pin Monthly Graphic, included recipes, a spice chart, and this ode to seasoning:

“When you are layd in bed so softe
A cage of gold shal hange alofte
Wythe longe peper fayre burning
And cloves that be swete smelling,
Frankinsense and olibanum,
That when ye slepe, the taste may come,
An yf ye no rest can take
All nyght mynstrels for you shall wake.”
—The Squire of Low Degree
