[Footnote 226: Margin-Note here 'Measures.' G.] [Footnote 227: In 1st edition spelled 'trew,' G.] 66. 'Not those yong[228] students of the heauenly booke, '_Atlas_ the great, _Promethius_ the wise, 'Which on the starres did all their life-time looke, 'Could euer finde such measures in the skies, 'So full of change and rare varieties; 'Yet all the feete whereon these measures goe, 'Are only spondeis, solemne, graue and sloe. [Footnote 228: In 1st edition 'old': 'young' in 1622 must be a misprint, unless used in the grand meaning of SIR THOMAS BROWNE. In 1622 it is mis-spelled 'youg.' G.] 67. 'But for more diuers and more pleasing show, 'A swift and wandring daunce she did inuent, 'With passages vncertaine to and fro, 'Yet with a certaine answer and consent 'To the quicke musicke of the instrument.[229] 'Fiue was the number of the Musick's feet, 'Which still the daunce did with fiue paces meet. [Footnote 229: Margin-Note here 'Galliards.' G.] 68. 'A gallant daunce, that lively doth bewray 'A spirit and a vertue masculine; 'Impatient that her house on earth should stay 'Since she her selfe is fiery and diuine; 'Oft doth she make her body vpward fline[230], 'With lofty turnes and capriols[231] in the ayre, 'Which with the lusty tunes accordeth faire. [Footnote 230: In 1st edition spelled 'flyne': A.S. 'to fly.' G.] [Footnote 231: A 'capriole' is a 'lady's head-dress' (Wright): but here seems to mean 'springings and turnings': degenerated into 'capers' at this later day. G.] 69. 'What shall I name those currant trauases,[232] 'That on a triple _dactile_ foot doe runne 'Close by the ground with sliding passages, 'Wherein that Dauncer greatest praise hath wonne 'Which with best order can all orders shunne; 'For euery where he wantonly must range, 'And turne, and wind, with vnexpected change. [Footnote 232: Margin-Note here, 'Courantoes.' G.] 70. 'Yet is there one, the most delightfull kind, 'A loftie iumping, or a leaping round;[233] 'Where arme in arme two dauncers are entwind 'And whirle themselues with strict embracements bound, 'And still their feet an _anapest_ do sound; 'An _anapest_ is all their musick's song, 'Whose first two feet are short, and third is long. [Footnote 233: Margin-Note here, 'Lavoltaes.' G.] 71. 'As the victorious _twinnes_ of _Læda_ and _Ioue_ 'That taught the Spartans dauncing on the sands 'Of swift _Eurotas_, daunce in heaun aboue, 'Knit and vnited with eternall hands; 'Among the starres their double image stands, 'Where both are carried with an equall pace, 'Together iumping in their turning race. 72.
