So beautie on the waters stood,
when Loue had seuer' d earth from floud,
So when hee parted ayre from fire,
hee did with concord all inspire,
And then a motion hee them taught,
that elder then himselfe was thought,
which thought was yet the childe of earth,
for loue is elder then his birth.

Ben Jonson
Masque of Beauty
