Tantó dulcius.
The mortall strifes that often doe befall,
Twixt louing Bretheren, or the private frend,
Doe proue (we say) the deadliest of all:
Yet if compos'd by concord, in the end
They relish sweeter, by how much the more,
The Iarres were harsh, and discordant before.

How oft hereof the Image I admire,
In thee sweete MVSICK, Natures chast delight,
The Banquets frend, and Ladie of the Quire;
Phisition to the melancholly spright:
Mild Nurse of Pietie, ill vices foe;
Our Passions Queene, and Soule of All below.
