The Piller, Pillaster or Cillinder.

The Piller is a figure among all the rest of the Geometricall most beawtifull, in respect that he is tall and vpright and of one bignesse from the bottom to the toppe.  In Architecture he is considered with two accessarie parts, a pedestall or base, and a chapter or head, the body is the shaft.  By this figure is signified stay, support, rest, state and magnificence, your dittie then being reduced into the forme of a Piller, his base will require to beare the breath of a meetre of six or seuen or eight sillables:  the shaft of foure:  the chapter egall with the base, of this proportion I will giue you one or two examples which may suffise.
