Nature, après l’avoir créée, lui dit
Now art thou Natures glory and delight, Compact of euery heauenly excellence :
Thou art indowd with Saturns deepe conceit, Thy minde as hawte as Iupiters high thoughts, Thy stomack Lion-like, like Mauors hart, Thy eyes bright beamde, like Sol in his array, Thy cheekes more fayre, then are faire Venus cheekes, Thy tongue more eloquent then Mercuries, Thy forehead whiter then the siluer Moones :
Thus haue I robd the Planets for thy sake.
Besides all this, thou hast proud Iunoes armes, Auroraes hands, and louely Thetis foote : (Acte I, sc. i, 93-104).
