Their round proportion embracing all.
But yet their various and perplexed course,
Observ'd in divers ages, doth enforce
255Men to finde out so many Eccentrique parts,
Such divers downe-right lines, such overthwarts,
As disproportion that pure forme: It teares
The Firmament in eight and forty sheires,
And in these Constellations then arise
260New starres, and old doe vanish from our eyes:
As though heav'n suffered earthquakes, peace or war,
