To giue a reason, wherefore, how, and what,
When, where, by whom, or fondly this or that,
Might argue reference to higher power;
But what is he whose place doth equall our?
We are the rule of reason, truths cleare law.
Heare then with reuerence, and obey with awe.
Without more question, argument, or triall,
The iudgement I pronounce against the Dial.
The Dial shall be guided by the Clock.
This is the sentence of the weather-Cock.
Which when the Clock had heard (puft vp with pride)
He ginnes the wronged Dial to deride;
And sits his tongue at large, too much, too soone;
Twelu times he fetch'd his breath, & laugh'd out none.
