[ 35 ] 



Permit not two confpicuous lights to fliine 



O There mu(fc 



With rival radiance in the fame defign ; 

 But yield to one alone the power to blaze 

 And fpread th' extenfive vigor of its rays, 

 There where the nobleft figures are difplay'd $ 

 Thence gild the diftant parts and lefiening fade : 

 As fade the beams which Phoebus from the Eaft 

 Flings vivid forth to light the diftant Weft, 426 

 Gradual thofe vivid beams forget to fhine, 

 So gradual let thy pidhir'd lights decline. 



Non poterunt diverfa locis duo lumina eadem xxxm. 



Non duo ex 



In tabula paria admitti, aut aequalia pingi : 

 Majus at in mediam lumen cadet ufque tabellam 

 Latius infufum, primis qua fumma nguris 315 



Res agitur, circumque oras minuetur eundo: 

 Utque in progreflu jubar attenuatur ab ortu 

 Solis, ad occafum paulatim, & ceffat eundo j 

 Sic tabulis lumen, tota in compage colorum, 

 Primo a fonte, minus fenlim declinat eundo. 323
