On the Nine Muses, out of Ausonius.

Clio relates things done, and gives the time;
Melpomene delights in Tragick Rhyme;
Thalia sports it in lascivious Verses,
Euterpe sweet and pleasant things reherses;
Terpsicore with Harps the mind inspires;
Erato dancing most of all desires;
Calliope brave Deeds to Books commits;
Urania to Astronomy submits;
Polhymnia describes with hand and gesture
In midst of these, Apollo most Divine
VVith his diffusive Spirit cheers the Nine.
