HEERE Learning sits, a comely Dame in yeares
Vpon whose head, a heavenly dew doth fall
Within her lap, an opened book appeares
Her right hand shewes, a sunne that shines to all
* Blind Ignorance, expellijng with that * light
The Scepter shewes, her power and soveraigne might
Her ou * spread Armes, and booke her readines
T'imbrace all men, and entertaine their loue
The shower, those sacred graces doth express
By Science, that do slow from heaven aboue
Her age declares the studie, and the paine
Of many yeares, ere we our knowledge gaine.
