First Line: Play phoebus on thy lute
Last Line: As men, turne all to eares.


1. Play Phoebus on thy Lute;
And we will, all sit mute
By listning to thy Lire,
That sets all eares on fire.

2. Hark, harke, the God do's play!
And as he leads the way
Through heaven, the very Spheres,
As men, turne all to eares.
