Other Sonnets vpon other Subiects, 25

THe Accademicks held it better farre
Quite to distrust th' Imagination,
Then to beleeue all which it doth auerre,
Which breeds more false, then true opinion:
Then, sith the case so stands with this Soules Powre,
We should suspend our Iudgment, sith Things seeme,
Not as they bee (though Sence the same assure)
But, bee (but in Conceite) as them we deeme:
For, through the Sences Chanells that doth runne,
That is conuaid to the Itelligence:
Then, Sence (as in the greatnesse of the Sunne)
Beeing deceau'd, decaues eache inward Sence:
O then, for Men, who seeke but good to show,
How long ought wee suspect they are not so?
