1629, William Bastian, “To the Authour” in Francis Malthus (translator), A Treatise of Artificial Fire-Works, London: Richard Hawkins,
Thy Archimedean hand hath learnt to frame
Celestiall Meteors out of Nitrous flame:

[…] sporting Nature, to amuse us,
Did startling Novelties produce us;
Mocking our Archimedean Sons

Whoever should behold me now, I wist
Would think I were a mighty mechanist
Bent with sublime Archimedean art
To breathe a soul into the iron heart
Of some machine portentous,

[…] we are leaving the Campbell house for the train station, and I have my Archimedean experience: Elm Street ..... then ..... elm trees!
