On the show

Anthony Scattergood was a theologian at Trinity College Cambridge, and in his miscellany he has an erotic poem called "On Six Cambridge Maids Bathing Themselves by Queen's College, June 15, 1629." Then immediately after that is a recipe that says, "For the eyes, take snails and prick them through the shells with a great pin, and they will issue out a fat water, drop the same into the eyes, evening and morning."
