Image description: Sir John Davies (1569–1626) was an English poet, lawyer, politician and Attorney General for Ireland. A work for none but angels & men that is to be able to look into and to know ourselves, or a book shewing what the soule is, subsisting and having its operations without the body ... : of the imagination or common sense, the phantasie, sensative memory, passions, motion of life, the local motion, intellectual power of the soul. "Smell": "There are a crew of fellowes I suppose That angle for their victualls with their nose As quick as Beagles in the smelling sense To smell a feast in Paules 2 miles from thence".
