And the low world in measured motion draw

After the heavenly tune, [which none can hear]

[Of human mould with gross unpurged ear].

And yet such music worthiest were to blaze

The peerless height of her immortal praise 75

Whose lustre leads us, and for her most fit,

If my inferior hand or voice could hit

Inimitable sounds. Yet, as we go,

Whate’er the skill of lesser gods can show

I will assay, her worth to celebrate, 80
