But the fit time of this mutation

No man can finden out with all his pains.

For the small sphears of humane reason run

Too swift within his narrow compast brains.

But that vast Orb of Providence contains

A wider period; turneth still and slow.

Yet at the last his aimed end he gains.

And sure at last a fire will overflow

The aged Earth, and all must into ashes go.
