I have contrivd and framde a head of brasse,
(I made Belcephon[1297] hammer out the stuffe)
And that by art shall read Philosophie: 55
And I will strengthen England by my skill,
That if ten Cæsars livd and raignd in Rome,
With all the legions Europe doth containe,
They should not touch a grasse of English ground;
The worke that Ninus reard at Babylon, 60
The brazen walles framde by Semiramis,
Carvd out like to the portall of the sunne,
