Book IV, 61: On RAYMOND SEBVND
From Divine Fancies (1633), Book IV
Religion
Honour to high-brain'd Raymond, And no lesse
To thy renowned Scholler, great Du Plesse:
Your high attempts object to our dull Sight
The God of Nature, by dull Natures Light:
But what has Raymond, and Du Plessis done?
They light but two bright Tapers to the Sun.
