But sith wee see that nature hath assign’d
The fowle to fly the ayre, as seemeth well,
The fish to swim the sea, as fits his kinde,
The earth for men and beastes to breede and dwell:
Of right a man, which doth the rest excell,
Should euen so far surpasse the rest in ech degree,[430]
As all the rest to him in wit and reason weaker bee.[431]

All this I speake to warne the rest that heare,
And eke to shew the blindnesse of delites.
