examples which may suffise Her Maiestie resembled to the crowned piller Ye must read vpward Is blisse with immortalitie Her trymest top of all ye see Garnish the crowne Her iust renowne Chapter and head Parts that maintain And womanhead Her mayden raigne Integritie In honour and With veritie Her roundnes stand Strēgthen the state By their increase Without debate Concord and peace Of her support They be the base With stedfastnesse Vertue and grace Stay and comfort Of Albions rest The sounde Pillar And seene a farre Is plainely exprest Tall stately and strayt By this noble pourtrays Philo to the Lady Calia sendeth this Odolet of her prayse in forme of a Piller which ye must read downeward Thy Princely port and Maiestie Is my terrene deitie Thy wit and sence The streame source Of eloquence And deepe discours Thy faire eyes are My bright loadstarre Thy speache a darte Percing my harte Thy face alas My looking glasse Thy louely lookes My prayer bookes Thy pleasant cheare My sunshine cleare Thy rufull sight My darke midnight Thy will the stent Of my content Thy glorye flou● Of myne honour Thy loue doth giue The lyfe I lyue Thy lyfe it is Mine earthly blisse But grace fauour in thine eies My bodies soule souls paradise The Roundell or Spheare The most excellent of all the figures Geometrical is the round for his many perfections First because he is euen smooth without any angle or interruption most voluble and apt to turne and to continue motion which is the author of life he conteyneth in him the commodious description of euery other figure for his ample capacitie doth resemble the world or vniuers for his indefinitenesse hauing no speciall place of beginning nor end beareth a similitude with God and eternitie This figure hath three principall partes in his nature and vse much considerable the circle the beame and the center The circle is his largest compasse or circumference the center is his middle and indiuisible point the beame is a line stretching directly from the circle to the center contrariwise from the center to the circle By this description our maker may fashion his meetre in Roundel either with the circumference and that is circlewise or from the circūference that is like a beame or by the circumference and that is ouerthwart and dyametrally from one side of the circle to the other A generall resemblance of the Roundell to God the world and the Queene All and whole and euer and one Single simple eche where alone These be counted as Clerkes can tell True properties of the Roundell His still turning by consequence And change doe breede both life and sence Time measure of stirre and rest Is also by his course exprest How swift the circle stirre aboue His center point doeth neuer moue All things that euer were or be Are closde in his concauitie And though he be still turnde and tost No roome there wants nor none is lost The Roundell hath no bonch or angle Which may his course stay or entangle The furthest part of all his spheare Is equally both farre and neare So doth none other figure fare Where natures chattels closed are And beyond his wide compasse There is no body nor no place Nor any wit that comprehends Where it begins or where it ends And therefore all men doe agree That it purports eternitie God aboue the heauens so hie Is this Roundell in world the skie Vpon earth she who beares the bell Of maydes and Queenes is this Roundell All and whole and euer alone Single sans peere simple and one A speciall and particular resemblance of her Maiestie to the Roundell FIrst her authoritie regall Is the circle compassing all The dominion great and large Which God hath geuen to her charge Within which most spatious bound She enuirons her people round Retaining them by oth and liegeance Within the pale of true obeysance Holding imparked as it were Her people like to heards of deere Sitting among them in the middes Where she allowes and bannes and bids In what fashion she list and when The seruices of all her men Out of her breast as from an eye Issue the rayes incessantly Of her iustice bountie and might Spreading abroad their beames so bright And reflect not till they attaine The fardest part of her domaine And makes eche subiect clearely see What he is bounden for to be To God his Prince and common wealth His neighbour kinred and to himselfe The same centre and middle pricke Whereto our deedes are drest so thicke From all the parts and outmost side Of her Monarchie large and wide Also fro whence reflect these rayes Twentie hundred maner of wayes Where her will is them to conuey Within the circle of her suruey So is the Queene of Briton ground Beame circle center of all my round Of the square or quadrangle equilater The square is of all other accompted the figure of most solliditie and stedfastnesse and for his owne stay and firmitie requireth none other base then himselfe and therefore as the roundell or Spheare is appropriat to the heauens the Spire to the element of the fire the Triangle to the ayre and the Lozange to the water so is the square for his inconcussable steadinesse likened to the earth which perchaunce might be the reason that the Prince of Philosophers in his first booke of the Ethicks termeth a constant minded man euen egal and direct on all sides and not easily ouerthrowne by euery litle aduersitie hominem quadratū a square man Into this figure may ye reduce your ditties by vsing no moe verses then your verse is of sillables which will make him fall out square if ye go aboue it wil grow into the figure Trapezion which is some portion longer then square I neede not giue you any example bycause in good arte all your ditties Odes Epigrammes should keepe not exceede the nomber of twelue verses and the longest verse to be of twelue sillables not aboue but vnder that number as much as ye will The figure Ouall This figure taketh his name of an egge and also as it is thought his first origine and is as it were a bastard or imperfect rounde declining toward a longitude and yet keeping within one line for his periferie or compasse as the rounde and it seemeth that he receiueth this forme not as an imperfection by any impediment vnnaturally hindring his rotunditie but by the wisedome and prouidence of nature for the commoditie of generation in such of her creatures as bring not forth a liuely body as do foure footed beasts but in stead thereof a certaine quantitie of shapelesse matter contained in a vessell which after it is sequestred from the dames body receiueth life and perfection as in the egges of birdes fishes and serpents for the matter being of some quantitie and to issue out at a narrow place for the easie passage thereof it must of necessitie beare such shape as might
