¶Lyrics / Text

Music, music, thou queen of souls, get up and string Thy pow'rful lute and some sad requiem sing, Till rocks requite thy echo with a groan, And the dull cliffs repeat the duller tone. Then on a sudden with a nimble hand Run gently o'er the chords and so command The pine to dance, the oak his roots forgo The holm and aged elm to foot it too. Myrtles shall caper, lofty cedars run And call the courtly palm to make up one. Then in the midst of all their jolly train, strike a sad note and fix 'em trees again.
