Epig. 3. To the worthy founder of our famous Oxonian Librarie, Sir Tho: Bodley, built in the forme of a T.

The forked Y, as learned Sages write,
Containes in it deepe mysteries divine:
Thy target T if that I true endite,
Doeth shelter in't more many a sacred Line
Then all the letters of that sage his name;
Such is the Glory of thy Vaticane.
 

Pythagoras.
