| Behold the brand of beauty tossed | B |
| See how the motion does dilate the flame | C |
| Delighted love his spoils does boast | D |
| And triumph in this game | C |
| Fire to no place confined | E |
| Is both our wonder and our fear | F |
| Moving the mind | E |
| As lightning hurled through air | G |

| High heaven the glory does increase | H |
| Of all her shining lamps this artful way | I |
| The sun in figures such as these | J |
| Joys with the moon to play | I |
| To the sweet strains they all advance | K |
| Which do result from their own spheres | L |
| As this nymph's dance | K |
| Moves with the numbers which she hears | M |
