In praise of Musick.
Musick miraculous Rhethorick! that speak'st Sence
Without a Tongue, excellent Eloquence:
The love of thee in wild Beasts have been known,
And Birds have lik'd thy Notes above their own.
Without a Tongue, excellent Eloquence:
The love of thee in wild Beasts have been known,
And Birds have lik'd thy Notes above their own.
How easie might thy Errors be excus'd,
Wert thou as much beloved, as th'art abus'd;
Yet although dull Souls thy Harmony disprove,
Mine shall be fixt in what the Angels love.
Wert thou as much beloved, as th'art abus'd;
Yet although dull Souls thy Harmony disprove,
