Objection.

"For what!" they say, "doth not the Soul wax old?

How comes it, then, that aged men do dote,

And that their brains grow sottish, dull, and cold;

Which were in youth, the only spirits of note?"

"What! are not Souls within themselves corrupted?

How can there idiots then by Nature be?

How is it that some wits are interrupted,

That now they dazzled are, now clearly see?"
