The Sun is Nurse to all the Earth bears.
Although the Earth to all gives Form and Feature,Yet is the Sun the Nurse to every Creature;
For none could Live, unless the Sun give Heat,
Which is to them as Nourishing as Meat:
Just like a Child that's got and born of Man,
It must be Fed, or 'twill soon Dye agen.
