First Line: Lo, here the muse which to our eyes discovers
Last Line: Than wives, their garters making fast more high.
Subject(s): Bosworth, William (1618-1650)
LO, here the Muse which to our eyes discovers
The bleeding fate of many hapless lovers,
What though his warbling lyre not gravely rings
With such deep notes as lofty Clio sings,
His Muse is soft, as sweet, and though not strong,
Pathetic, lively, all on fire, and young,
Flowing with tears and smiles, and full of sport,
As fits the subject of fair Venus' Court,
And this may court you to peruse his book;
So oft i' th' streets with prompter eyes we look
On lovely girls who but their shoestrings tie,
Than wives, their garters making fast more high.
