Thou art Fortune, Pleasure, Riches, Health,
Companion to the Worthies, giving birth,
To Hector Valour, and to Cæsar Mirth:
Nay, and sometimes sole Commander
Of the Worlds All-commanding Alexander.
Ye Muses guide unto the pleasant Spring,
Where you inchanting sit, and chanting sing
Such Roundelays, that those which do draw near,
Are no more fed by th’ eye, but by the ear.
There is no Musick, nought that cheers the heart,
