Order Odes

    “For man is but the servant and interpreter of nature: what he does and what he knows is only what he has observed of nature’s order in fact or in thought; beyond this he knows nothing and can do nothing.”

    “There, full in notes, to ravish all
    My Earth, I wonder what to call
    My dullness; when
    I heare thee, prettie Creature, bring
    Thy better odes of Praise, and Sing,
    To puzzle men:
    Poore pious Elfe!
    I am instructed by thy harmonie,
    To sing the Time’s uncertaintie,
    Safe in my Selfe.”
    —George Daniel (1616–1657)
