[Congealed ayre doth make the starres to shote.]
Congealed
ayre doth make the starres to shote.

And that you should such call as best can ayde
I sende thee here what is eche one hir trayde.

But in the Goblet she graued these verses following in the same order as she had done before.
I for
my parte, loue tragedies to penne.
And Cleo notes the worthinesse of menne.
Thaleia she delights in cunnyng talke.
In soundyng trumpe Euterpes wittes do walke:
In Musicke rules Terpsichore delightes.
Erato loues Geometry that hightes.
Heroicall verse Calliope firste did knowe.
Euranea loues Astrologie to showe.

Will force thy tongue Rhetoricall to bee.
Thus to vsurpe at any time our ayde,
Take heede of this, least that you be denayde.
