EMBLEME 19.

Here Sience do's in contemplation sit,
Distinguishing by formes, the soule of wit:
Knowing, perfection ha's no proper grace,
If wanting Order, Number, Time, or Place:
The Theoricke and Practicke part must be
As heate and fire: the Sunne, and Claritie:
Such twins they are, and such Correlatiues,
As the'one without the other seldome thriues.
How can a man the feates of Armes well doe,
If not a Scholler, and a Souldiour too?
If either then be missing in's due place,
Defect steps in, and steales from all their grace:
On good acts you employ the practicke part,
The Theory lies lodg'd within your heart.
