Epig. 4. To Mr. Giles Granvert .

Now wee
(Deare Sir) be
Our owne Antipodes,
Our owne Disease,
Seamen the Whip,
Plowmen the Ship
Vsurpe and guide,
Men walk, Mules ride,
Children begin
To teach to spin
Their Grandams old,
Sheepe Shephards Fold,
144

Meteors exhal'd
From mud are call'd
The highest Spheares,
Small hopes, great feares,
Wolves in Humane shapes
Men, Asses, Hoggs and Apes,
Hermaphrodites with Child,
Herod reconcil'd
To Pilate; Iustice, Knowledge,
From Gotham Colledge
Proceed, the blind perceive
What Seer's wo'nt beleeve,
No way but Chymistry,
Salt, Sulphur, Mercury.
