Our knowledge or opinion; then retires

Into her private cell, when Nature rests.”

“But know that in the soul Are many lesser faculties, that serve Reason as chief; among these Fancy next Her office holds; of all external things, Which the five watchful senses represent, She forms imaginations, aery shapes, Which Reason joining or disjoining frames All what we affirm or what deny, and call Our knowledge or opinion; then retires Into her private cell, when Nature rests.”
