For what can stand that is so badly staid?

Well may that fall whose ground-work is unsure.

And what hath wall’d the world but thoughts unweigh’d

In freer reason? That antiquate, secure,

And easie dull conceit of corporature;

Of matter; quantitie, and such like gear

Hath made this needlesse, thanklesse inclosure,

Which I in full disdain quite up will tear

And lay all ope, that as things are they may appear.
