For ’tis of force and not of a set will.

Ne dare my wary mind afford assent

To what is plac’d above all mortall skill.

But yet our various thoughts to represent

Each gentle wight will deem of good intent.

Wherefore with leave th’ infinitie I’ll sing

Of time, Of Space: or without leave; I’m brent

With eagre rage, my heart for joy doth spring,

And all my spirits move with pleasant trembeling.
