The second is the production of one Thomas Ward, theological poet, who was born in 1640 and died in 1704. In the second canto of one of his poems occur these words:
“As Walchius could words imprison
In hollow canes so they, by reason,
Judgment and great dexterity,
Can bottle words as well as he;
And can from place to place convey them,
Till, when they please, the reed shall say them;
Will suddenly the same discharge,
And hail-shot syllables at large
Will fly intelligibly out
