The Arithmetick of Passions.
VVith Numeration Moralists beginUpon the Passions, putting Quotients in;
Numbers divide with Figures, and Substract,
And in their Definitions are exact;
As for Substracting, take but one from three,
Add it to four, and it makes five to be:
Thus the odd Numbers to the even joyn'd,
Will make the Passions rise within the Mind.
