Made by Geometrye, then shoulde men know,
That neuer was arte so wonderfull witty,
So needefull to man, as is good Geometry.
The firste findinge out of euery good arte,
Seemed then vnto men so godly a parte,
That no recompence might satisfye the finder,
But to make him a god, and honoure him for euer.
So Ceres and Pallas, and Mercury also,
Eolus and Neptune, and many other mo,
Were honoured as goddes, bicause they did teache,
