'And thou sweet _Musicke_, Dauncing's onely life, 'The eare's sole happinesse, the ayre's best speach; 'Loadstone of fellowship, charming-rod of strife, 'The soft mind's Paradice, the sicke mind's leach; 'With thine own tong, thou[209] trees and stons canst teach, 'That when the Aire doth dance her finest measure, 'Then art thou borne, the gods and mens sweet pleasure. [Footnote 209: In first edition 'y^{e}' = the, and so elsewhere. G.] 47. 'Lastly, where keepe the _Winds_ their reuelry, 'Their violent turnings, and wild whirling hayes,[210] 'But in the Ayre's tralucent[211] gallery? 'Where shee herselfe is turnd a hundreth wayes, 'While with those Maskers wantonly she playes; 'Yet in this misrule, they such rule embrace, 'As two at once encomber not the place. [Footnote 210: A round country dance. G.] [Footnote 211: Translucent. Cf. Milton, Samson Agonistes 548, and Comus, 861. G.] 48. 'If then fire,[212] ayre, wandring and fixed lights 'In euery prouince of the imperiall skie, 'Yeeld perfect formes of dauncing to your sights, 'In vaine I teach the eare, that which the eye 'With certaine view already doth descrie. 'But for your eyes perceiue not all they see, 'In this I will your Senses master bee. [Footnote 212: In first edition spelled 'fier.' G.] 49. 'For loe the _Sea_[213] that fleets about the Land, 'And like a girdle clips her solide waist, 'Musicke and measure both doth vnderstand; 'For his great chrystall eye is alwayes cast 'Vp to the Moone, and on her fixèd fast; 'And as she daunceth in her pallid spheere, 'So daunceth he about his Center heere. [Footnote 213: Margin-Note here 'Of the sea.' G.] 50. 'Sometimes his proud greene waues in order set, 'One after other flow vnto the shore; 'Which, when they haue with many kisses wet, 'They ebbe away in order as before; 'And to make knowne his courtly loue the more, 'He oft doth lay aside his three-forkt mace, 'And with his armes the timorous Earth embrace. 51. 'Onely the Earth doth stand for euer still: 'Her rocks remoue not, nor her mountaines meet: '(Although some wits enricht with Learning's skill 'Say heau'n stands firme, and that the Earth doth fleet, 'And swiftly turneth vnderneath their feet) 'Yet though the Earth is euer stedfast seene, 'On her broad breast hath Dauncing euer beene. 52. 'For those blew vaines that through her body spred, 'Those saphire streames which from great hils do spring.[214] '(The Earth's great duggs; for euery wight is fed 'With sweet fresh moisture from them issuing): 'Obserue a daunce in their wilde wandering; 'And still their daunce begets a murmur sweet, 'And still the murmur with the daunce doth meet. [Footnote 214: Margin-Note here 'Of the riuers.' G.] 53.
