Noting their essence nor their qualitie,

But of the spirites that piromancie calles,

And of the vigour of the geomanticke fiends. 45

I tell thee, Germane, magicke haunts the grounds,[1416]

And those strange necromantick spels

That worke such shewes and wondering in the world

Are acted by those geomanticke spirites

That Hermes calleth terræ filii. 50

The fierie spirits are but transparant shades,

That lightly passe as heralts to beare newes;
