Book IV, 39: On DAVID

Who ever sung so high, so rapt an
As David prompted by heroick Clio?
But when thy more divine Vrania sung,
What glorious Angell had so sweet a tongue?
But when Melpomene began to sing,
Each word's a Rapture, or some higher thing:
Sweet were thy triumphs; sweet those ioyes of thine;
O, but thy Teares were more then most Divine.
