The Myll that is driuen by water or winde,
Are workes of Geometrye straunge in their trade,
Fewe could them deuise, if they were vnmade.
And all that is wrought by waight or by measure,
without proofe of Geometry can neuer be sure.
Clockes that be made the times to deuide,
The wittiest inuencion that euer was spied,
Nowe that they are common they are not regarded,
The artes man contemned, the woorke vnrewarded.
But if they were scarse, and one for a shewe,
