"Old Plymouth Trails"
Winthrop Packard
Or, if they list to try Conjecture, he his fabric of the Heavens Hath left to their disputes, perhaps to move His laughter at their quaint opinions wide Hereafter, when they come to model Heaven, And calculate the stars; how they will wield The mighty frame; how build, Unbuild, contrive To save appearances; how gird the Sphere With Centric and Eccentric scribbled o'er Cycle and Epicycle, Orb in Orb.
"The Astronomy of Milton's 'Paradise Lost'"
Thomas Orchard

"The Maids Tragedy"
Francis Beaumont and John Fletcher
