Beauty and Musick.
I
Ye Swains, whom Radiant Beauty moves,Or Musick's Art with Sounds Divine,
Think how the Rapt'rous Charm improves,
Where Two such Gifts Celestial join;
II
Where Cupid's Bow, and Phœbus' Lyre,In the same pow'rful Hand are found;
Where Lovely Eyes inflame Desire,
While trembling Notes are taught to wound.
III
Inquire not who's the matchless Fair,That can this Double Death bestow:
If young HARMONIA's Strains you hear,
Or view her Eyes, too well you'll know.
