Nay, now thou ’rt perfect mad, said he, with scorn,

And full of foul derision quit the place.

The skie did rattle with his wings ytorn

Like to rent silk. But I in the mean space

Sent after him this message by the wind

Be ’t so I ’m mad, yet sure I am thou ’rt blind.

By this the out-stretch’d shadows of the trees

Pointed me home-ward, and with one consent

Foretold the dayes descent. So straight I rise

Gathering my limbs from off the green pavement
