“Quippe etenim mortale æterno jungere, & una / Conſentire putare, & fungi mutua poſſe, (eſt, / Deſipere est. Quid enim diverſius eſſe putandum / Aut magis inter ſe disjunctum, diſcrepitanſque, / Quam mortale quod eſt, immortali atque perenni / Junctum in concilio ſævas tolerare procellas? / To joyn the mortal then and the ætern / And think they can agree in one concern, / Is Madneſs. For what things more diff’ring are / Unlike betwixt themſelves, and fit to jarr? How can it then be thought, that theſe ſhould bear, / When thus conjoyn’d, of Storms an equal ſhare?”

“Nay farther, and what Angels did admire, / For its Ætern Exemplar, the Moſt High, / Who with his work delighted, would retire / Frequent from Heav’n, as to divert, and view it nighe’r.”
