[When Love invokes the Nine, the Muse's Friend]

When Love invokes the Nine, the Muse's Friend,
On Love they're always ready to attend;
When with the Love of Verse my Soul's on Fire;
They give a Song, and answer my Desire;
When I their Gift, th'harmonious Song, rehearse,
No Balm is equal to the Sweets of Verse.
