Amusements in Mathematics

In Mathematicks he was greater Than Tycho Brahe or Erra Pater: dd For he, by geometrick scale, Could take the size of pots of ale; Resolve, by sines and tangents, straight, If bread or butter wanted weight; And wisely tell what hour o' th' day The clock does strike by algebra.

BUTLER'S Hudibras,
