 Still govern thou my song, / Urania, and fit audience find, though few.

 Store of ladies, whose bright eyes / Rain influence, and judge the prize.

 Storied of old in high immortal verse / Of dire chimeras and enchanted isles, / And rifted rocks whose entrance leads to Hell.

 Subtle he needs must be, who could seduce Angels

 Such strains as would have won the ear / Of Pluto, to have quite set free / His half-regained Eurydice.

 Such sweet compulsion doth in music lie

 Sweet bird, that shun the noise of folly, most musical, most melancholy!

 Sweet is the breath of morn, her rising sweet, With charm of earliest birds

 Sweet the coming on / Of grateful evening mild; then silent night / With this her solemn bird and this fair moon, / And these the gems of heaven, her starry train.

 Taste this, and be henceforth among the Gods thyself a Goddess.

 Tears such as angels weep.

 That power which erring men call chance

 The best apology against false accusers is silence and sufferance, and honest deeds set against dishonest words

 The bloody Piedmontese that rolled / Mother with infant down the rocks.

 The brazen throat of war had ceased to roar, / All now was turned to jollity and game,/ To luxury and riot, feast and dance.
