'This is the net wherein the Sunn's bright eye '_Venus_ and _Mars_ entangled did behold; 'For in this daunce, their armes they so imply[234] 'As each doth seeme the other to enfold; 'What if lewd wits another tale haue told 'Of iealous _Vulcan_, and of yron chaynes? 'Yet this true sence that forgèd lye containes. [Footnote 234: There is a misprint of 'employ' in Thomas Davies' edition, as before. G.] 73. 'These various formes of dauncing, Loue did frame 'And beside these, a hundred millions moe; 'And as he did inuent, he taught the same, 'With goodly iesture, and with comly show, 'Now keeping state, now humbly honoring low: 'And euer for the persons and the place 'He taught most fit and best according grace.[235] [Footnote 235: Margin-Note here 'Grace in dauncing.' G.] 74. 'For Loue, within his fertile working braine 'Did[236] then conceiue those gracious Virgins three; 'Whose ciuell moderation does maintaine 'All decent order and conueniencie, 'And faire respect, and seemlie modestie; 'And then he thought it fit they should be borne, 'That their sweet presence dauncing might adorne. [Footnote 236: In the errata of 1622 edition 'doo' is substituted for 'did,' itself a misprint, perhaps, for 'does.' G.] 75. 'Hence is it that these _Graces_ painted are 'With hand in hand dauncing an endlesse round; 'And with regarding eyes, that still beware 'That there be no disgrace amongst them found; 'With equall foote they beate the flowry ground, 'Laughing, or singing, as their passions will: 'Yet nothing that they doe becomes them ill. 76. 'Thus Loue taught men, and men thus learnd of Loue 'Sweet Musick's sound with feet to counterfaite; 'Which was long time before high thundering _Ioue_ 'Was lifted vp to Heauen's imperiall seat; 'For though by birth he were the Prince of _Creete_, 'Nor _Creet_, nor Heau'n should the yong Prince haue seen, 'If dancers with their timbrels had not been. 77. 'Since when all ceremonious misteries, 'All sacred orgies and religious rights,[237] 'All pomps, and triumphs, and solemnities, 'All funerals, nuptials, and like publike sights, 'All Parliaments of peace, and warlike fights, 'All learnèd arts, and euery great affaire 'A liuely shape of dauncing seemes to beare.[238] [Footnote 237: 'Rites.' G.] [Footnote 238: Margin-Note here, 'The use and formes of dauncing in sundry affaires of man's life.' G.] 78. 'For what did he who with his ten-tong'd lute 'Gaue beasts and blocks an vnderstanding eare? 'Or rather into bestiall minds and brute 'Shed and infus'd the beames of reason cleare? 'Doubtlesse for men that rude and sauage were 'A ciuill forme of dauncing he deuis'd, 'Wherewith vnto their gods they sacrifiz'd. 79.
