Ring out ye crystal spheres
And with your ninefold ——
Make up full consort to the angelic ——.

EXAMPLES.
—— like a purse, if it be over-full that it can not shut, all will drop out of it; take heed of a gluttonous curiosity to feed on many things, lest the greediness of the appetite of thy —— spoil the digestion thereof.
