To the quick music of the instrument.
Five was the number of the Music's feet;
Which still the Dance did with five paces meet.
68.
A gallant Dance! that lively doth bewray
A spirit and a virtue masculine;
Impatient that her house on earth should stay,
Since she herself is fiery and divine.
Oft doth she make her body upward flyne
With lofty turns and caprioles in the air,
