And still and still even to infinitie.

Which point since I so fitly have propos’d,

Abating well the inconsistencie

Of harsh infinitude therein supposd

And prov’d by reasons never to be loos’d

That infinite space and infinite worlds there be;

This load laid down, I’m freely now dispos’d

Awhile to sing of times infinitie,

May infinite Time afford me but his smallest fee.
