On the Excellent Poems of Tho. Stanley, Esq; Composed by Mr. JOHN GAMBLE.
VVrapt in like Numbers (could th'husht world but hear
Th'above abstracted Harmonie) Such Words
Th'Octave Intelligence sings to his Sphear,
When all th'Astonomers trembling Lines turn Chords.
Th'above abstracted Harmonie) Such Words
Th'Octave Intelligence sings to his Sphear,
When all th'Astonomers trembling Lines turn Chords.
Thus the Mean Quire of Movers roul in Tone
Their Crystal Tenor-Orbs to the Concent,
This Base the Gammut Heaven of the Moon
Ecchoes the G-Sol-Re-UT Firmament.
Their Crystal Tenor-Orbs to the Concent,
This Base the Gammut Heaven of the Moon
Ecchoes the G-Sol-Re-UT Firmament.
Like which the nobler Poesie consignes
Love Heat, and Beauty beams to Touch and Sight;
Now strung with Rapsodie, th'Harmonious Lines
Have taught the Ear burn, and admire what's bright.
Love Heat, and Beauty beams to Touch and Sight;
Now strung with Rapsodie, th'Harmonious Lines
Have taught the Ear burn, and admire what's bright.
As if the King of Song had tun'd his Rayes,
Make Souls turn Kindred Numbers, and reply
Transport and Rapture, as th'untoucht Chord playes,
Who moves the Diapason Sympathy.

Transport and Rapture, as th'untoucht Chord playes,
Who moves the Diapason Sympathy.
And all the Muses Hover in each Aire,
Aire that they breath; Muses not yet concern'd
In Poesie by that name (though Nine were there)
Not from the Poem, but the Musick learn'd.
Aire that they breath; Muses not yet concern'd
In Poesie by that name (though Nine were there)
Not from the Poem, but the Musick learn'd.
For when they were but Girles, could yet not spel
Their A-re Alphabet, they could talk Rime,
And Tales of Love, and right scann'd Fancies tel,
Though not with Fingers, but with Feet kept Time.

Till they from untaught Strokes, and us'd to Twang
O're all the Fathers sleeping untun'd Lyre,
Began to wonder what it was he Sang,
So by degrees Consorted into Quire.
O're all the Fathers sleeping untun'd Lyre,
Began to wonder what it was he Sang,
So by degrees Consorted into Quire.
Clio, Urania, had no name beside
Th'God-father gave at the Fount Hippocrene
Muse, the addition of Maturer pride
Inur'd like State noyse Princess and the Queen.

Muse, the addition of Maturer pride

But since the god assents, both Artists treat
Th'Hils royal Parcener, thus She do's chuse
Both Favourites Consorts to the lawful Sheet,
Ore as She's Clio, th'other as the Muse.

Both Favourites Consorts to the lawful Sheet,
