IMPROMPTU TO A YOUNG LADY PLAYING by ROYALL TYLER

First Line: IF NOW TIMOTHEUS WERE ALIVE
Last Line: WE THINK OURSELVES IN HEAVEN.
Subject(s): MUSIC & MUSICIANS;

IF now Timotheus were alive,
Again in musick's art to strive,
To you who well deserve the prize
The crown would soon be given,
For while with ease and grace you play,
Each earthly thought is charm'd away,
You seem an angel to our eyes,
We think ourselves in heaven.
