IV.

[Fierce Love the Muses fear not, but affect]

Fierce Love the Muses fear not, but affect,
And gladly by his steps their own direct;
If One whose Genius is not am'rous try
To sing him they, to teach refusing, fly;
But if some Lover his sweet song begin,
To him they joyfully come thronging in;
This witnesse the disorder of my tongue
When God or Man is subject of my song
But Love and Lycidas; what I compose
Of them in streams of verse untroubled flows.
