Sing, ye muses, and revere
The constellation of this sphere;
You have not seen a brighter sky.
Music may satisfy the ear,
But beauty's charms regales the eye.
Io, triumphe! Sing, muses, and sound.
Do you but please the fair,
And your banquet is crowned.

Composition:

    Set to music by John Blow (1649 - 1708), "Sing, ye muses"
