'Behold the _World_, how it is _whirled round_, 'And for it is so _whirl'd_, is namèd so; 'In whose large volume many rules are found 'Of this new Art, which it doth fairely show; 'For your quicke eyes in wandring too and fro 'From East to West, on no one thing can glaunce, 'But if you marke it well, it seemes to daunce. 35. 'First[197] you see fixt in this huge mirrour blew, 'Of trembling lights, a number numberlesse:[198] '_Fixt they are_ nam'd, but with a name vntrue, 'For they all mooue[199] and in a Daunce expresse 'That _great long yeare_, that doth containe no lesse 'Then threescore hundreds of those yeares in all, 'Which the sunne makes with his course naturall.
