Not illustrated. 1856 edition. Excerpt: ... and mount; trees, herbs, flowres, all Strive upwards still, and point him the way home. How do they cast off grossness? only earth, And man like Issachar in lodes delight, Water's refin'd to motion, aire to light, Fire to all three, but man hath no such mirth. Plants in the root with earth do most comply, Their leafs with water and humiditie, The flowres to air draw neer and subtiltie, And seeds a kindred fire have with the sky. Light, motion, heat.
