Francis Bacon. 1561.
Slightly before my time. 
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

I wonder if he ever pigged out?
I know my tracks are failing, because my train of thought is constantly getting de-railed.

I was on this path:
Weight? To regain == definition
I ate = I ATE
dementedly = (anagram)

Weight? To regain it, I ate dementedly once the bar

INITIATED
I think @Rich-Leyshon had it but just didn't see the definition, so I'm inclined to give it to him, especially as I don't recall him setting one. Want to take it tomorrow, Rich?
