## The words

Orpheus with his lute made trees And the  
mountaintops that freeze Bow themselves when  
he did sing:  
To his music, plants and flowers ever sprung;  
As sun and showers There had made a lasting  
spring. Ev'rything that heard him play,  
Even the billows of the sea, Hung their heads  
and then lay by,  
In sweet music is such art, Killing care and  
grief of heart Fall asleep, Or hearing,  
die.
