Classic Poem

Plato putts difference these Tearmes betweene
A Man Is not, and is, that hath no Beeing;
For in the first a Nullity is scene,
Which with nor Sence , nor Substance bath agreeing.
The other showeth but the difference
Betweene the Cause , and Matter , or, more plaine.
Betweene the Pow'r , and Passion , wherein Sence
Perceaues that Odds doth really remaine:
For, This distinguisheth twixt that which Is
(Yea, of It selfe Is , euermore the same)
And That which of another's That , or This ,
Yet holds not This nor That , but alters Frame:
So, Man compared with his constant Cause ,
No Beeing hath at all, by Natures Lawes!
