Henry Bennet Calesian. Sonnet.
THe Poets write, that Atlas did susteinOn shulders huge ye massy heuēs frameSo feigne they not, that Saturns heauen∣ly reygne,And state he knew, or could expresse ye sameThastrologers, that neuer crept so hye,Do•…•… vaunt they knowe, what God doothe woorke in throne.Affyrmyng that to knowe this mystery,None can atteyne, but onely they alone,Whose fansies Fulce with booke of per∣fecte skyll,Confutes with suche as vaynly do professeThēselues to know, of god the secrete will,But yf I myght to these rewarde addresse,I rede the rout, that eies vnlerned bleares,Shuld for their cunnynge weare kinge Mi∣das eares.
