This made a thousand instruments combine

And all in one great, glorious whole conjoin:

Nor do I boast of outward form alone,

For Harmony has mark’d me as her own;

Has taught my sweetly solemn sounds to flow

In all the pomp and majesty of woe;

Has taught my notes on seraph’s wings to fly,

And raise the ravish’d soul above the sky;

Has made in Heaven’s own that voice rever’d,

And kings to kneel whenever it is heard.
