  All centre-bound, exactly circular:
  No sportive way it takes, at large and free,
  No gambol plays of freakful liberty […]

No spuriosity, no charlatanry can stand this fiery alembic of hard-wrought and exquisite calculation, in which one mathematic point or unit misplaced destroys the whole chain of reasoning, and proves the candidate a blunderer.
