[By helpe of fiue, and sixe, and seuen]

By helpe of fiue, and sixe, and seuen
And lines and distances betweene,
A scale is made that brings from heauen
A virgine sweete that nere was seene,
Nor any man euer see her shall,
Though heauen and earth together fall.
Vnseene, of louers she hath choice,
That are not led by wanton eies,
But they doe loue her Angels voice,
And he that rules aboue the skies
Doth daine a listening eare to lend,
Her earnest praiers to attend.

The scale of musicke, is made with lines and spaces. Fiue signed cliffes

[_]

. Six voices, vt, re, my, fa, sol, la, and the seuen diapasons, a. b. c. d. e. f. g.
