Nor pause a space to gather breath.
And on the height she would be won
And she was won in death

 Haley had the genius to perceive the tremendous importance of Newton s re- searches, and he ceased not to urge upon the somewhat recluse man of science the necessity for giving his discoveries pub hcation. Having been authorized by the Royal society to undertake the printing of the book at his own expense, Haley spared no pains in pushing forward the publication of his illustrious friend s great work, so much so that in the same year he was in a position to present a complete copy to King James II, with a proper discourse of his own. Halley also wrote a set. of Latin hexameters, in praise of Newton's genius, which he printed at the beginning of the work.
