from The Consolation of Philosophy

The stock of man, the Root, the body, Boughs,

(Whose breadth or'e-spreads the earth, height tops the skies)

One Parent hath; he Sire, and Dam; he plowes,

Plants, waters: he our birth, growth, all supplies.

            He fills the Sun with Seas of flowing beams;

            Surrounds and drains the Moon with changing streames.

He peoples Seas with fish, the Heaven with Stars,

Plants ayer, and earth with living Colonies.

He pounds mans God-like Spirit in fleshly bars,

And by that spirit earth to himself allies.

            Men are of high descent: their Petigree

            Mortals derive from great Eternitie.

Boast ye of Sires? and Grandsires? search ye earth

For Heaven? Heavens Register will shew your race.

Heavens King your Sire: from Heaven, in Heaven your birth

A noble, royal line. No man is base

            But such, as for base earth Heavens birthright sell,

            By vice cut off from Heaven, and grafted into Hell.

– Boethius (AD 476-524), translated by Phineas Fletcher (before 1650)
