He therefore circumscribes himself in rhymes,

And, swaddled in's own paper seven times,

Wears a close jacket of poetic buff,

With which he doth his third dimension stuff.

Thus armed underneath, he over all

Doth make a primitive sotana fall;

And over that, yet casts an antique cloak,

Worn at the first council of Antioch,

Which, by the Jews long hid and disesteemed,

He heard of by tradition, and redeemed;
