The Hesperides & Noble Numbers/Hesperides/A Canticle to Apollo
388. A CANTICLE TO APOLLO.
Play, Phœbus, on thy lute;
And we will all sit mute,
By listening to thy lyre,
That sets all ears on fire.
Hark, hark, the god does play!
And as he leads the way
Through heaven the very spheres,
As men, turn all to ears.
