If starres be merely starres not centrall lights

Why swell they into so huge bignesses?

For many (as Astronomers do write)

Our sun in bignesse many times surpasse.

If both their number and their bulks were lesse

Yet lower placed, light and influence

Would flow as powerfully, and the bosome presse

Of the impregned Earth, that fruit from hence

As fully would arise, and lordly affluence.
