She is a Star, whose beams do not proceed

From any sun, but from a native light.

That the Soul hath a proper operation, without the Body.

For when She sorts things present with the past,

And thereby things to come doth oft foresee;

When She doth doubt at first, and choose at last:

These acts her own, without the Body, be.

When of the dew, which the Eye and Ear do take,

From flowers abroad, and bring into the brain;

She doth, within, both wax and honey make:
