On the famous Contests between Signora Cuzzoni, and Signora Faustina.
While with the heighten'd Force of Rival sound,
Each tuneful Stranger struck the ravish'd Ear,
Careless of Joy the adverse Hearers frown'd,
And each in Rage extoll'd his fav'rite Fair.

And each in Rage extoll'd his fav'rite Fair.
Strange! that from Harmony's all-Soothing spell,
Tumultuous Jars, and fiercest Discord came,
Strange! that the Breast of Man enrag'd shou'd Swell
By notes which list'ning Savages wou'd Tame.
