To the Soule. Sonnet. 12.

THat learned father, which so firmely proues The Soule of man immortall and diuine, And doth the seuerall offices define: Anima Giues her that name as she the body moues, Amor Then is she loue imbracing Charitie, Animus Mouing a will in vs, it is the minde, Mens Retaining knowledge, still the same in kinde; Memoria As intellectuall it is the memory, Ratio In iudgeing, Reason onely is her name, Sensus In speedie apprehension it is sence, Conscientia In right or wrong, they call her conscience: Spiritus The spirit, whē it to Godward doth inflame. These of the soule the seuerall functions bee, Which my heart lightned by thy loue doth see.
