The Mind

Nosce Teipsum: Objections Against the Immortalitie of the Soule

by Sir John Davies 1569–1626

From Complete Poems, ed. Grosart (1876)

The Mind

But now these Epicures begin to smile,
And say, my doctrine is more false then true;
And that I fondly doe my selfe beguile,
While these receiu'd opinions I ensue.
