An Hymne to the Muses.

HOnour to you who sit!
Neere to the well of wit;
And drink you fill of it.

Glory and worship be!
To you sweet Maids (thrice three)
Who still inspire me.

And teach me how to sing
Unto the Lyrick string
My measures ravishing.

Then while I sing your praise,
My Priest-hood crown with bayes
Green, to the end of dayes.
