Of heauen thus he reasons: heauen theres none,
Vnlesse it be within his mantion.
Oh there is heauen: why? because theres gold,
That from the late to this last age controld,
The massie scepter of Earthes heauenly round,
Exiling forth her siluer paued bound,
The Leaders, brethren, brazen counterfets,
That in this golden age contempt begets;
Vaunt then I mortall I, I onely King,
And golden God of this eternall being.
Of Hell Cymerian thus Auarus reasons:
Though hell be hot, yet it obserueth seasons;
Hauing within his Kingdome residence,
Ore which his godhead hath preheminence:
An obscure angell of his Heauen it is,
Wherein's containd that Hell deuouring blis:
Into this Hell sometimes an Angell fals,
Whose white aspect black forlorne soules appals,
And that is when a Saint beleeuing gold,
Old in that heauen, yong, in being old.
