With which whoe’er his frost limbs anoints,
Shall feel no cold in fat, or flesh, or joints.
’Tis like the river, which whoe’er doth taste,
Forgets his present griefs and sorrows past,
Music, which makes grim thoughts retire,
And for a while cease their tormenting fire
Music, which forces beasts to stand at gaze,
And fills their senseless spirits with amaze—
Compared to this is like delicious strings,
Which sound but harshly while Apollo sings.
