Dances inspired by Love

                                                                  from Love Restored

This motion was of Love begot,

It was so airy, light, and good

His wings into their feet he shot,

Or else himself into their blood.

But ask not how.  The end will prove

That love’s in them, or they’re in love.

Have men beheld the Graces dance,

Or seen the upper orbs to move?

So these did turn, return, advance,

Drawn back by Doubt, put on by Love.

And now, like earth, themselves they fix

Till greater powers vouchsafe to mix

Their motions with them.  Do not fear,

You brighter planets of this sphere:

Not one male heart you see

But rather to his female eyes

Would die a destin’d sacrifice

Than live at home and free.

Ben Jonson
