The difference between a Lute, and a Via

It fell out the other day,
Two Ladies busie at their play,
Th'one a Vial with her voice,
Did accord a Heavenly noise,
Th'other a Theorboe held,
Which when they the Room had fill'd,
With their Musick then it was,
Striving which of them could pass
Each the other, (then say I,)
Musick was Divinity;
Madam, quoth the first, I think,
If Napenthe be a drink
That doth reconcile the Gods
When they chance to fall at odds,
Certainly without denial,
'Tis distilled through a Vial;
Quoth the other to confute
Your argument, why not a Lute,
And I comming in the while,
They began to blush and smile,
Saying both, you that so well
Of Love do undertake to tell,
And have ventur'd to set forth
In a Poem the rare worth,
That in Musicks charms lie,
Speak without partiality,
Which is fitter for Love's Quire,
Amphion's Lute, or Orpheus Lire;
Thus betwixt a Scila I,
And Charibdis then did lie,

Should I dare to say a Lute,
Farewell my intended suite;
Or if I a Vial praise,
Then my Mistress I displease,
Will you take a Poets oath,
Then by Sack I pleas'd them both,
Amphion's Lute I did advance,
Because it made the stones to dance,
And when they had found the trial,
Which was sweeter Lute or Vial,
With the reason both were mute,
Both concluding 'twas a Lute.
