In Praise of MUSICK.
Musick! Miraculous Rhethorick! that speak'st sence
Without a Tongue! Excellent Eloquence!
The love of thee, in wild Beasts have been known,
And Birds have lik'd thy Notes above their own:
Without a Tongue! Excellent Eloquence!
The love of thee, in wild Beasts have been known,
And Birds have lik'd thy Notes above their own:
How easie might thy Errours be excus'd,
Wer't thou as much belov'd, as th'art abus'd?
Yet although dull soules, thy Harmony disprove,
Mine, shall be fixt, in what the Angels love.
Wer't thou as much belov'd, as th'art abus'd?
Yet although dull soules, thy Harmony disprove,
Mine, shall be fixt, in what the Angels love.
