I nor talents, manners, blood, Would be worthy of, if madly I denied a Great First Cause, Who made all things, mind and matter, Time, heaven, earth, air, water, fire, Sun, moon, stars, fish, birds, beasts, Man then. (DARIA: Did not Jupiter, then, make heaven, Where we hear his thunders rattle?) No, for if he could have made Heaven, he had no need to grasp it For himself at the partition, When to Neptune's rule he granted The great sea, and hell to Pluto;-- Then they were ere all this happened. (12) (DARIA: Is not Ceres the earth, then?) No. Since she lets the plough and harrow Tear its bosom, and a goddess Would not have her frame so mangled.
