398 Fancies and Fantasticks.The imaginary center in Q's made,That speck which in the world doth stand or fade.The Zodiack, Colours, and Equator line,In Tropique and Meridian Q did shine,The lines of bredth, and lines of longitude,Climate from Climate, doth by Q seclude.And in the starry spangled sky the QMakes us the day from night distinctly know.And by his motion, round as in a ring.Light to himselfe, light to each Q doth bring:In each dayes journey, in his circle round,The framing of an Q by sense is found.The moon hath to the Q's frame, most affection ;But the Suns envy grudgeth such perfection.Yet Dian hath each moneth, and every yeare,Learned an Q's frame in her front to beare.And to requite Sol's envie with the like,With oft eclipses at his Q doth strike.In our inferiour bodies there doth growMatter enough to shew the worth of Q.Our brains and heart, either in Q doth lye,So that the nest of Q's the sparkling eye.The ribs in meeting, fashion an Q's frame,The mouth and eare, the nostrills beare the same.The Latins honouring the chiefest parts,Gloryed to make our Q the heart of hearts ;Fronting it with three words of deepest sense,Order, Opinion, and Obedience.Oft have I seen a reverend dimmed eye,By the help of Q to read most legibly.
