Epig. 4 De homine in Luna.

When Bunas view'd the wandring plannets seau'n
He spide a knaue in Moone all cloth'd in blacke,
Who for his theft could come no nearer heau'n,
But bore a bush of sharp thornes on his backe:
A knaue in Moone? what neede he look so hie?
When in the Sunne a thousand stoode him by.
