$R$ ocks, pillars, and heauen's axeltree, $E$ xemplifie her constancy; $G$ reat changes neuer change her: $I$ n her sexe, feares are wont to rise, $N$ _ature_ permits, _Vertue_ denies, $A$ nd scornes the face of _Danger_. HYMNE XXV. OF HER MODERATION. $E$ mpresse of kingdomes though she be, $L$ arger is her soueraigntie $I$ f she her selfe doe gouerne; $S$ ubiect vnto her self is she, $A$ nd of her selfe true soueraigne. $B$ eautie's crowne though she do weare, $E$ xalted into Fortune's chaire, $T$ hron'd like the Queene of Pleasure; $H$ er vertues still possesse her eare, $A$ nd counsell her to measure. $R$ eason, if shee incarnate were, $E$ uen Reason's selfe could neuer beare $G$ reatnesse with moderation; $I$ n her one temper still is seene, $N$ o libertee claimes she as Queene, $A$ nd showes no alteration. HYMNE XXVI. TO ENUY. $E$ nuy, goe weepe; my Muse and I $L$ augh thee to scorne: thy feeble eye $I$ s dazeled with the glory $S$ hining in this gay poesie, $A$ nd little golden story. $B$ ehold how my proud quill doth shed $E$ ternall _nectar_ on her head; $T$ he pompe of coronation $H$ ath not such power her fame to spread, $A$ s this my admiration. $R$ espect my pen as free and franke $E$ xpecting not reward nor thanke, $G$ reat wonder onely moues it; $I$ never made it mercenary, $N$ or should my Muse this burthen carrie $A$ s hyr'd, but that she loues it. $Finis.$ III. ORCHESTRA. NOTE. In the Registers of the Stationer's Company, under date 25th June, 1594, a Mr. Harrison entered for copy-right of 'Orchestra' (Notes and Queries 3 S. II., p. 461: Dec. 13, '62): but it was not published till 1596. The following is the original title-page: ORCHESTRA OR A POEME ON DAUN- CING Iudicially prooving the true observation of time and measure, in the Authenticall and laudable use of Daun- cing. Ouid. Art. Aman. lib I. Si vox est, canta: si mollia brachia, salta Et quacunque potes dote placere, place. AT LONDON: Printed by J. Robarts for N. Ling. 1596. [18mo: pp 46: register A B C of 8 leaves each.] In the Bodleian copy there is this inscription at top of title-page "Ex dono Wilti. Burdett, amici sui primo die Decembr. 1596 36. E. R." Instead of the after-dedication 'To the Prince' there was the 'Sonnet' to Martin which we have placed before it. The title-page from the edition of 1622 may be added here:-- ORCHESTRA. OR A Poeme expressing the An- _tiquitie and Excellencie_ OF DAVNCING. In a Dialogue betweene _Penelope_ and one of her Wooers. _Not Finished._ LONDON. Printed by A. M. for Richard Hawkins. 1622.
