Divine Nonsensia, all thy soul infuse;

The charms of Secants and of Tangents tell,

How Loves and Graces in an Angle[[212]] dwell;

How slow progressive Points[[213]] protract the Line,

As pendent spiders spin the filmy twine;

Spread the wide Plane, and mark its circling bound;

How Planes, their substance with their motion grown,
