Nosce Teipsum: How the Soul Doth Exercise her Powers in the Body

But as the world's sunne doth effects beget,
Diuers, in diuers places euery day;
Here Autumnes temperature, there Summer's heat,
Here flowry Spring-tide, and there Winter gray:

Eere Euen, there Morne, here Noone, there Day, there Night;
Melts wax, dries clay, makes flowrs, som quick, som dead;
Makes the More black, and th' Europoean white,
Th' American tawny, and th' East-Indian red:

So in our little World: this soule of ours,
Being onely one, and to one body tyed,
Doth vse, on diuers obiects diuers powers,
And so are her effects diuersified.
