What
Planet rul'd your birth? what wittie star?
That you so like in Souls as Bodies are!
So like in both, that you seem born to free
The starrie art from vulgar Calumnie.
My doubts are solv'd, from hence my faith begins,
Not only your faces, but your wits are Twins.
That you so like in Souls as Bodies are!
So like in both, that you seem born to free
The starrie art from vulgar Calumnie.
My doubts are solv'd, from hence my faith begins,
Not only your faces, but your wits are Twins.
When this bright Gemini shall from earth ascend,
They will new light to dull-ey'd mankind lend,
Teach the Star-gazers, and delight their Eyes,
Being fixt a Constellation in the Skyes.
They will new light to dull-ey'd mankind lend,
Teach the Star-gazers, and delight their Eyes,
Being fixt a Constellation in the Skyes.
