ABSTRACT
Then Jove thus spake: With Care and Pain We form'd this Name, renown'd in Rhyme; Not thine, Immortal Neufgermain! Cost studious Cabalists more Time. Yet now, as then, you all declare, } Far hence to Egypt you'll repair, And turn strange Hieroglyphicks there; Rather than Letters longer be, Unless i' th' Name of Tom D'Urfy_
Were you all pleas'd, yet what I pray, To foreign Letters cou'd I say? What if the Hebrew next should aim To turn quite backward D' Urfy's Name? Should the Greek quarrel too, by Styx, I Cou'd ne'er bring in Psi and Xi; Omicron and Omega from us Wou'd each hope to be 0 in Thomas; And all th' ambitious Vowels vie, } No less than Pythagorick Y, To have a Place in Tom D' Urfy.
