¶Liedtext

My tongue-tied Muse in manners holds her still, While comments of your praise richly compil'd, Reserve their character with golden quill, And precious phrase by all the Muses fil'd. I think good thoughts, whilst others write good words, And like unletter'd clerk still cry "Amen" To every hymn that able spirit affords In polish'd form of well-refin'd pen. Hearing you prais'd, I say, "'Tis so, 'tis true." And to the most of praise add something more: But that is in my thought, whose love to you Though words come hind-most, holds his rank before. Then, others, for the breath of words respect Me for my dumb thoughts, speaking in effect.
