On the margin of a 13-th c. copy of a compendium written on the basis 
of Ordo Misse by Innocence III and a part of Petrus Lombardus (IV) 
used probably by the Livonian cistercians and later (14.-15-th c.?) by Tallinn 
dominicans there is a verse:

Dat vinum purum tibi ter tria commoda
Primum confortat stomachum cerebrum reddit tibi letum
Fumos evacuat et viscera plena relaxat
Augeat et ingenium visum nutrit linit aures
Sit tibi mensura comes nec vacues et opes

This and other maginal notes in this code (TLA, f 230, n 1, s Cm 4,   
 f. 44v)  can date from the very end of the 13-th c. or from the  
first half of the 14-th c 

Tiina Kala 

These verses sound like they come from the Regimen Sanitatis 
Salernitanum; the first two should presumably be printed:

Dat vinum purum tibi ter tria commoda: primum 
Confortat stomachum cerebrum reddit tibi letum
