The daie delaid by length of night,
Which made both date and night to yawe;
And all was through that charming geare,
Which causd the world to quake for feare.

Carmine Thessalidum dura in præcordia fluxit,
Non fatis adductus amor, flammisque seueri
Illicitis arsere ignes:
With Thessall charmes, and not by fate
Hot loue is forced for to flowe,
Euen where before hath beene debate,
They cause affection for to growe.
Idem. Ibid.
Gens inuisa dis maculandi callida cæli,
Quos genuit terra, mali qui sidera mundi
Iuráque sixarum poßunt peruertere rerum:
Nam nunc stare polos, & flumina mittere norunt,
Aethera subterras adigunt montésque reuellunt:
These witches hatefull vntoGod;
And cunning to defile the aire,
Which can disorder with a nod
The course of nature euerie where,
Doo cause the wandring starres to staie,
And driue the winds beelow the ground,
They send the streames another waie,
And throwe down hilles where they abound.

Consult are fibras, & rumpere vocibus angues,
Solicitare umbras, ipsúmque Acheronta mouere,
In noctémque dies, in lucem vertere noctes,
Omnia conando docilis solertia vincit:

They talked with the toongs of birds,
Consulting with the salt sea coasts,
They burst the snakes with witching words,
