And therefore is the glorious planet Sol 93 In noble eminence enthroned and sphered 94 Amidst the other, whose med’cinable eye 95 Corrects the influence of evil planets, 96 And posts, like the commandment of a king, 97 Sans check, to good and bad.
ULYSSES
Troy, yet upon his ⟨basis,⟩ had been down, 79
And the great Hector’s sword had lacked a master 80
But for these instances: 81
The specialty of rule hath been neglected, 82
And look how many Grecian tents do stand 83
Hollow upon this plain, so many hollow factions. 84
When that the general is not like the hive 85
To whom the foragers shall all repair, 86
What honey is expected? Degree being vizarded, 87
Th’ unworthiest shows as fairly in the mask. 88
The heavens themselves, the planets, and this center 89
Observe degree, priority, and place, 90
Insisture, course, proportion, season, form, 91
Office, and custom, in all line of order. 92
And therefore is the glorious planet Sol 93
In noble eminence enthroned and sphered 94
Amidst the other, whose med’cinable eye 95
Corrects the influence of evil planets, 96
And posts, like the commandment of a king, 97
Sans check, to good and bad.
