The statelie Stagg, whose hornes threaten the skye,
is sencelesse dombe, not hearinge anie sounde
of hungrie dogges that seekes him eagerlie,
or hunters voice which doth in woodes rebounde,
whilst hee with grynding teeth feedes on the ground,
except he first his hed from Earth erect,
wherby the hearinge sence maye them detect.

Soe mortall men, full fraught with worldlie toyes,
whose earthlie mynde, howsd in such brutish wight,
(beastlie feeding on fleshlie fadinge Ioyes,)
cannot conceive the words of heavenlie spright,
nor heare the gladsome voice of heavens delight,
Leaste to the skye his hanging hed he raise,
from earth of Sinn, and sowles corrupting waies.
