Why flocke you thus to Bacons secret cell,

A frier newly stalde in Brazennose? 10

Say whats your mind, that I may make replie.

Burden. Bacon, we hear that long we have suspect,

That thou art read in magicks mysterie:

In piromancie, to divine by flames;

To tell, by hadromaticke[1294] ebbes and tides; 15

By aeromancie to discover doubts,

To plaine out questions, as Apollo did.

Bacon. Well, Maister Burden, what of all[1295] this?
