The fourth excerpt represents the element of Earth. It speaks of physical influences and the impact of the unseen on the visible world, and is drawn from A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare: Dem. My Lord, faire Helen told me of their stealth,

And all the faith, the vertue of my heart,
The obiect and the pleasure of mine eye,
