_And when your ivory fingers touch the strings Of any silver-sounding instrument, LOVE makes them dance to those sweet murmurings, With busy skill and cunning excellent! O that your feet, those tunes would represent With artificial motions to and fro, That LOVE this Art in every part might shew!_ 108. _Yet your fair soul, which came from heaven above To rule this house_ (_another heaven below_) _With divers powers in harmony doth move; And all the virtues that from her do flow In a round measure, hand in hand do go: Could I now see, as I conceive this dance, Wonder and Love would cast me in a trance._ 109. _The richest jewel in all the heavenly treasure, That ever yet unto the earth was shown, Is Perfect Concord th' only perfect pleasure, That wretched earthborn men have ever known: For many hearts it doth compound in one, That what so one doth will, or speak, or do, With one consent they all agree thereto._ 110. _Concord's true picture shineth in this Art Where divers men and women rankèd be, And every one doth dance a several part, Yet all as one in measure do agree, Observing perfect uniformity: All turn together, all together trace, And all together honour and embrace._ 111. _If they whom sacred Love hath linked in one, Do, as they dance, in all their course of life; Never shall burning grief nor bitter moan, Nor factious difference, nor unkind strife, Arise between the husband and the wife; For whether forth, or back, or round he go, As doth the man, so must the woman do._ 112. _What, if by often interchange of place, Sometimes the woman gets the upper hand? That is but done for more delightful grace, For on that part, she doth not ever stand; But, as the Measures' law doth her command, She wheels about, and, ere the dance doth end, Into her former place she doth transcend._ 113. _But not alone this correspondence meet And uniform consent doth Dancing praise; For Comeliness, the child of Order sweet, Enamels it with her eye-pleasing rays: Fair Comeliness, ten hundred thousand ways, Through Dancing sheds itself, and makes it shine With glorious beauty, and with grace divine._ 114. _For Comeliness is a disposing fair Of things and actions in fit time and place; Which doth in Dancing shew itself most clear When troops confused, which here and there do trace, Without distinguishment or bounded space, By dancing rule, into such ranks are brought, As glads the eye, and ravisheth the thought._ 115.
