[Footnote 201: A French 'dance': the name meaning gay or brisk, and so a quick liuely dance, introduced into England about 1541. Thomas Wright's 'Dictionary' _s.v._ G.] [Footnote 202: In 1st edition 'gallant.' G.] 40. 'But see the Earth, when he approcheth neere, 'How she for ioy doth spring and sweetly smile; 'But see againe her sad and heauy cheere 'When changing places he retires a while; 'But those blake[203] cloudes he shortly will exile, 'And make them all before his presence flye, 'As mists consum'd before his cheerefull eye. [Footnote 203: Black. G.] 41. 'Who doth not see the measures of the Moone, 'Which thirteene times she daunceth euery yeare? 'And ends her pauine[204] thirteene times as soone 'As doth her brother, of whose golden haire[205] 'She borroweth part, and proudly doth it weare; 'Then doth she coyly turne her face aside, 'Then halfe her cheeke is scarse sometimes discride. [Footnote 204: Spanish _pavana_: a solemn Spanish dance. G.] [Footnote 205: Spelled in first edition, 'heire.' G.] 42. 'Next her, the pure, subtile, and clensing Fire[206] 'Is swiftly carried in a circle euen; 'Though Vulcan be pronounst by many a lyer, 'The only halting god that dwels in heauen: 'But that foule name may be more fitly giuen 'To your false Fire, that farre from heauen is fall:[207] 'And doth consume, waste, spoile, disorder all. [Footnote 206: Margin-Note here 'Of the Fire.' G.] [Footnote 207: Cf. 'Nosce Teipsum' page 103, _ante_: st. fourth, line second. G.] 43. 'And now behold your tender nurse the _Ayre_[208] 'And common neighbour that ay runns around; 'How many pictures and impressions faire 'Within her empty regions are there found; 'Which to your sences Dauncing doe propound. 'For what are _Breath_, _Speech_, _Ecchos_, _Musicke_, _Winds_, 'But Dauncings of the Ayre in sundry kinds? [Footnote 208: Margin-Note here, 'Of the Ayre.' G.] 44. 'For when you breath, the _ayre_ in order moues, 'Now in, now out, in time and measure trew; 'And when you speake, so well she dauncing loues, 'That doubling oft, and oft redoubling new, 'With thousand formes she doth her selfe endew 'For all the words that from our lips repaire 'Are nought but tricks and turnings of the ayre. 45. 'Hence is her pratling daughter _Eccho_ borne, 'That daunces to all voyces she can heare; 'There is no sound so harsh that shee doth scorne, 'Nor any time wherein shee will forbeare 'The ayrie pauement with her feet to weare; 'And yet her hearing sence is nothing quick, 'For after time she endeth euery trick. 46.
