That learned Father which so firmly proves
The soul of man immortal and divine,
And doth the several offices define
_Anima._ Gives her that name, as she the body moves.
_Amor._ Then is she love, embracing charity.
_Animus._ Moving a will in us, it is the mind;
_Mens._ Retaining knowledge, still the same in kind.
_Memoria._ As intellectual, it is memory.
_Ratio._ In judging, reason only is her name.
_Sensus._ In speedy apprehension, it is sense.
_Conscientia._ In right and wrong they call her conscience;
_Spiritus._ The spirit, when it to God-ward doth inflame:
These of the soul the several functions be,
Which my heart lightened by thy love doth see.
