And yet methinks, in my devicefull mind
Some reasons that may happily represse
These arguments it’s not uneath to find.
For how can the suns rayes that be transmisse
Through these loose knots in Comets, well expresse
Their beards or curld tayls utmost incurvation?
Beside, the conflux and congeries
Of lesser lights a double augmentation
Implies, and ’twixt them both a lessening coarctation.
