22 Punctus non dividendus.
Is Heav'n a Circle, and is Earth the CentreSo small a Point (as Sages oft have showne)?
Why then, fond Mortals dare you Battell venture,
Who the most part of so small Point shall owne?
Why, silly Worldlings, doo you toil you so,
Train'd with false Hopes of your too-fond Ambition?
O! dangerous Error is it, not to knowe
'Tis vain to strain about a Point's Partition.
