William Shakespeare (1564–1616) |
| | | ORPHEUS 1 with his lute made trees, | |
| And the mountain tops that freeze, | |
| Bow themselves, when he did sing: | |
| To his music plants and flowers | |
| Ever sprung; as sun and showers | 5 |
| There had made a lasting spring. | |
| |
| Everything that heard him play, | |
| Even the billows of the sea, | |
| Hung their heads, and then lay by. | |
| In sweet music is such art; | 10 |
| Killing care and grief of heart | |
| Fall asleep, or hearing, die. | |
