Of the lov’d Art, good discant for to make
Upon a plain Song, Discords also take
With a sweet close, and meltingly to fall
Into a Treble, ravishing withal.

And why ’tis prized far above the rest,
Because it keeps the middst; the very heart
And Soul of Musick is the inner part.
Yet art undone thou saidst? Is to impart
The hidden secrets of mysterious art
