Of sun and moon, whose globes revolve in air
Midway between the earth and

For neither took them, since they weighed too little
To sink and settle, but too much to glide
Along the upmost shores; and yet they are
In such a wise midway between the twain
As ever to whirl their living bodies round,
And ever to dure as parts of the wide Whole;
In the same fashion as certain members may

But what was abandoned readily,
Beggars now scorn to know.
