If a Philosopher you wish to be
Let only patience dwell in thee.
Where one this globe lives a man so wise
Who`ll ever learn what four ones do comprise,
And even if he`d know all this
He`d still always be an apprentice.
Therefore, O human, whit all thy might
Recognise God and thyself in God`s and nature`s light,
Both these lights God pours into thee,
That a likeness of him thou mayest be,
He is one fourfold God, let thou be told,
As thou art a piece of clay fourfold.
This maketh nature to thee well known,
With wisdom, light and understanding to thee is it shown
To nothing can thine eye be blind,
Be it of body or of mind.
Therefore be thankful to thy God,
Who in time this before the hast brought,
Be thou not jealous of the scoffer`s fame
Do not begrudge every mocker`s great name.
With sophisticated vanity they strut
Unbeknownst to them is what thou`st got.
Be happy with what God thee gave
Defy, that four in one they have.
Fiat and Amen, be my treasure
A fourfold sphere always together.
O Domine quam mirabilia sunt opera tua.
Lord, thine eternal Spirit is in all Things
Salvator Mundi
Coelum et Terra
There is never a Philosopher who Nature`s ultimate Principle doth not know.
