But that experiment of the Optick glasse

The greatest argument of all I deem,

Ne can I well encounter nor let passe

So strong a reason if I may esteem

The feat withouten fallacie to been,

Nor judge these little sparks and subtile lights

Some auncient fixed starres though now first seen,

That near the ruin’d Comets place were pight,

On which that Optic instrument by chance did light.
