'But why relate I euery singular? 'Since all the World's great fortunes and affaires 'Forward and backward rapt and whirled are, 'According to the musicke of the spheares: 'And Chaunge[219] herselfe her nimble feete vpbeares 'On a round slippery wheele that rowleth ay, 'And turnes all States with her imperuous[220] sway. [Footnote 219: In first edition a probable misprint is, 'Chaunce.' G.] [Footnote 220: In first edition 'impetuous.' G.] 60. 'Learne then to daunce, you that are Princes borne, 'And lawfull lords of earthly creatures all; 'Imitate them, and thereof take no scorne, 'For this new art to them is naturall-- 'And imitate the starres cælestiall: 'For when pale Death your vital twist shall seuer, 'Your better parts must daunce, with them for euer. 61. 'Thus Loue perswades, and all the crowd[221] of men 'That stands around, doth make a murmuring; 'As when the wind loosd from his hollow den, 'Among the trees a gentle base[222] doth sing, 'Or as a brooke through peebles wandering; 'But in their looks they vttered this plain speach, 'That they would learn to daunce, if Loue would teach.[223] [Footnote 221: In first and 1622 editions there is a probable misprint of 'crowne' here. G.] [Footnote 222: Bass. G.] [Footnote 223: Margin-Note here: 'How Loue taught men to dance.' G.] 62. 'Then first of all he doth demonstrate plaine 'The motions seauen that ar in Nature found, '_Upward_ and _downeward_, _forth_ and _backe againe_, '_To this side_ and _to that_, and _turning round_;[224] 'Whereof a thousand brawles he doth compound, 'Which he doth teach vnto the multitude, 'And euer with a turne they must conclude. [Footnote 224: Margin-Note here 'Rounds or Country Dances.' G.] 63. 'As when a Nimph[225] arysing from the land, 'Leadeth a daunce with her long watery traine 'Down to the Sea; she wries to euery hand, 'And euery way doth crosse the fertile plaine; 'But when at last shee falls into the maine, 'Then all her trauerses concluded are, 'And with the Sea her course is circulare. [Footnote 225: This interprets 'Nosce Teipsum,' Reason II, st. 1, page 86 _ante_.] 64. 'Thus when at first Loue had them marshallèd, 'As earst he did the shapeless masse of things, 'He taught them _rounds_ and _winding heyes_ to tread, 'And about trees to cast themselues in rings: 'As the two Beares, whom the First Mouer flings 'With a short turn about heauen's axeltree, 'In a round daunce for ever wheeling bee. 65. 'But after these, as men more ciuell grew, 'He did more graue and solemn measures frame,[226] 'With such faire order and proportion true,[227] 'And correspondence euery way the same, 'That no fault-finding eye did euer blame; 'For euery eye was mouèd at the sight 'With sober wondring, and with sweet delight.
