To Hobois, Flutes, in Dance they did impart;
What lofty'st friskings, Ayre-born motions there
As each would chiefly Inspired thus appear

To th' Cornet, Flute, with shouts triumphant crown'd,
Whilst rocky Hills and Woods, in eccho-fashion,

Combin'd for cloze in sprightfull'st country Measure:
Whilst nodding Grandsires (chanted o're and o're)
Brag'd this Themselves had done, times past, and More.
