The Syrens Song.
Ye Powers above, and ye Celestial ones,
We Sirens sing a doleful Lullaby
To those who by our false inchanting Tones,
We draw to hear our pleasant Harmony.
We Sirens sing a doleful Lullaby
To those who by our false inchanting Tones,
We draw to hear our pleasant Harmony.
No Ulyssean stratagem nor skill
Can save poor Mariners that coast our way,
But with Inchanting Notes we please and kill
Who on our Road to hear our voice do stray.
Can save poor Mariners that coast our way,
But with Inchanting Notes we please and kill
Who on our Road to hear our voice do stray.
And Women-like, our Tongue can play its part;
Whilst like to Deities wee seem to be,
At the same instant we can by our Art,
Read to poor Mariners their Destiny.
Whilst like to Deities wee seem to be,
At the same instant we can by our Art,
Read to poor Mariners their Destiny.
