Last Line: TO CHARME OUR SOULES, AS THOU ENCHANT'ST OUR EARES.
Subject(s): MUSIC & MUSICIANS;
Musick, thou Queen of Heaven, Care-charming-spel,
That strik'st a stilnesse into hell:
Thou that tam'st Tygers, and fierce storms (that rise)
With thy soule-melting Lullabies:
Fall down, down, down, from those thy chiming spheres,
To charme our soules, as thou enchant'st our eares.
