_Mirror_ (_Kelly's_), Dr. Dee's speculum. Kelly was the doctor's
speculator or seer. The speculum resembled a "piece of polished cannel
coal."

Kelly did all his feats upon
The devil's looking-glass, a stone.

_Mirror_ (_Merlin's Magic_) or Venus's looking-glass, fabricated in
South Wales, in the days of King Ryence. It would show to those that
looked therein anything which pertained to them, anything that a friend
or foe was doing. It was round like a sphere, and was given by Merlin to
King Ryence.

That never foe his kingdom might invade

the Fox_, xii. (1498).

_Mirror_ (_Venus's_), generally called "Venus's looking-glass," the same
as Merlin's magic mirror (_q.v._).[TN-13]

_Mirror_ (_Vulcan's_). Vulcan made a mirror which showed those who
looked into it the past, present, and future. Sir John Davies says that
Cupid handed this mirror to Antin'ous, when he was in the court of
Ulysses, and Antinous gave it to Penel'op[^e], who beheld therein the
court of Queen Elizabeth and all its grandeur.

Vulcan, the king of fire, that mirror wrought ...
As there did represent in lively show
Our glorious English court's divine image

Sir John Davies, _Orchestra_ (1615).
