Classic Poem

In Musicks skill you surely learned are,
O very well the Muses doe declare,
Hy long you have, and th' Alrus you will sing,
Nobly so Fame aloud your fame doth ring.
Expressing Altus , you shew by and by
Lively you are raised to Altesie,
Placed on by , that a low Base may be
In a farre distance fifteene under thee.
Nobly ply on the part you have begun,
Goe forward still untill the praise y'ave wonne.
Song doth imply a minde that's cheerely bent,
The high part shews one who exalted bent
On Honour set, is lifted up on by :
Now seene on by, ply you by Song ,
Eternally that so you may excell.
