[The glassie gulfe joyn'd with Earths globe in one]

The glassie gulfe joyn'd with Earths globe in one
Gives waters to the rivers, looseth none:
The Sunne that makes so many glorious dayes,
Doth loose no light, and still he wast's his rayes:
The Loadstone to the iron gives vertue rare,
And yet no wayes his owne he doth impaire:
So this my torch can give to others light,
And still, as is his wont, shine perfect bright.
Thus Divine Wisdome doth communicate
Her selfe, that others may participate.
The good more common better is, and grace
Wisheth, all were partakers of her case.
