This is the parergon of each noble fire

Of neighbour worlds to be the nightly starre,

But their main work is vitall heat t’ inspire

Into the frigid spheres that ’bout them fare,

Which of themselves quite dead and barren are.

But by the wakening warmth of kindly dayes,

And the sweet dewie nights they well declare

Their seminall virtue in due courses raise

Long hidden shapes and life, to their great Makers praise.
