+{{LinkText|Orpheus with his lute}}
-Orpheus with his lute made trees,
-And the mountain tops that freeze,
-Bow themselves, when he did sing:
-To his music plants and flowers
-ever sprung; as sun and showers
-There had made a lasting spring.
-Everything that heard him play,
-Even the billows of the sea,
-Hung their heads, and then lay by.
-In such music is such art,
-Killing care and grief of heart
-Fall asleep, or hearing, die.}}
