Later, They Beheaded His Son

From James I's (that is, James VI's) book Basilicon Doron, a treasure trove of helpful advice for any royal heir (boldface added):

And vse most to eate of reasonablie-grosse, and common-meats; aswell for making your bodie strong and durable…as that yee may bee the heartlier receiued by your mean Subjects in their houses…Let all your food bee simple, without composition or sauces; which are more like medecines then meate. The vsing of them was counted amongst the ancient Romanes a filthie vice of delicacie; because they serue onely for pleasing of the taste, and not for satisfying of the necessitie of nature…In the form of your meate-eating, bee neither vnciuill, like a grosse Cynicke; nor affectatlie mignarde, like a daintie dame; but eate in a manlie, round, and honest fashion. It is no wayes comely to dispatch affaires, or to be pensiue at meate: but keepe then an open and cheerefull countenance, causing to reade pleasant histories vnto you, that profite may be mixed with pleasure…

Next followeth to speak of raiment, the on-putting whereof is the ordinarie action that followeth next to sleepe. Be also moderate in your raiment, neither ouer superfluous, like a deboshed waster; nor yet ouer base, like a miserable wretch; nor artificially trimmed and decked, like a Courtizane, nor yet ouer sluggishly clothed, like a countrey clowne…

…let your countenance smell of courage and magnanimitie when ye are at the warres.
