24 The country where they live Psychania hight Great Psychany that hath so mighty bounds If bounds it have at all so infinite It is of bignesse that it me confounds To think to what a vastnesse it amounds The Sun Saturnus Saturn the earth exceeds The earth the Moon but all those fixed rounds But Psychany those fixed rounds exceeds 〈◊〉 farre as those fix'd rounds excell small mustard-seeds 25 Two mighty kingdomes hath this Psychany The one self-feeling Autaesthesia The other hight god-like Theoprepy Autaesthesy's divided into tway One Province cleeped is great Adamah Which also hight Beirah of brutish fashion The other Province is Dizoia There you may see much mungrill transformation ●…h monstrous shapes proceed from Niles foul inundation 26 Great Michael ruleth Theoprepia A

wond'rous scath He is the cause what so there goes amisse In Psyches stronger plumed progenies But Philosomatus rules Beirah This proud puft Giant whilom did arise Born of the slime of Autaesthesia And bred up these two sons yborn of Duessa 29 Duessa first invented magick lore And great skill hath to joyn and disunite This herb makes love that herb makes hatred sore And much she can against an Edomite But nought she can against an Israelite Whose heart 's upright and doth himself forsake For he that 's one with God no magick might Can draw or here or there through blind mistake Magick can

knows well what I mean 31 Old Mnemons head and beard was hoary white But yet a chearfull countenance he had His vigorous eyes did shine like starres bright And in good decent freez he was yclad As blith and buxom as was any lad Of one and twenty cloth'd in forrest green Both blith he was and eke of counsell sad Like winter morn bedight with snow and rine And sunny rayes so did his goodly eldship shine 32 Of many famous towns in Beirah And many famous laws and uncouth rites He spake but vain it is for to assay To reckon up such numbers infinite And much he spake where I had no insight But well I wote that some there present had For words to speak to uncapable wight Of foolishnesse proceeds or phrensie mad 〈◊〉 alwayes some I wis could trace his speeches pad 33 But that which I do now remember best Is that which he of Psittacusa lond Did speak This Psittacuse is not the least Or the most obscure Country that is found In wastefull Beiron it is renownd For famous clerks yclad in greenish cloak Like Turkish Priests if Amorilish ground We call 't no cause that title to revoke ●…t of this Land to this effect old Mnemon spoke 34 I travelled in Psittacusa lond Th' inhabitants the
