Cosmographie, and Philosophie, The one and twentie Pleasure.
Now
see the ioy got by Cosmographie,
We compasse countries, learnedly by arte:
And what delight by fine Philosophie,
By reason strange, to proue on eyther parte,
False iudgement true, and further to descrie:
Secretes in nature, by Philosophie.

By wholy writ, the way to heauen we finde,
A countrie farre aboue the loftie skie:
By sacred Lawes, we can confute in kinde,
The vniust cause, and proue the contrary.
By Scriptures eke, Gods nature plaine we finde:
Iust, mercifull, and to his seruants kinde.

Now see how farre this studie doth surpasse,
All studies else, what so without respect:
Then may he be iustly thought an asse,
Which dooth this studie any thing neglect?
And counteth not all other studies toyes,
Comparde to this, which yeeldeth heauenly ioyes.
