[Musick and Poësy bear Sister-Parts]
Canto VII.
Musick and Poësy bear Sister-PartsTo sooth the Sad, and chear the troubled Meen;
To calm the Tempest of afflicted Hearts,
And make, with Melody, the Soul serene.
Than these the World can boast no nobler Arts,
Whose sweet Effects more pleasingly are seen;
Not Scythia has a Breast so hard, that can
Resist the Charms of Verse, and Musick's Strain.
