Wherefore more boldly now to represent

The nature of the world, how first things were

How now they are: This endlesse large Extent

Of lowest life (which I styled whileere

The Cuspis of the Cone that’s every where)

Was first all dark, till in this spacious Hall

Hideous through silent horrour torches clear

And lamping lights bright shining over all

Were set up in due distances proportionall.
