SONGS, SET TO MUSIC BY THE MOST EMINENT MASTERS: 14 by MATTHEW PRIOR

First Line: TOUCH THE LYRE, ON EVERY STRING
Last Line: HAS NO RELATION TO THIS EARTH.
Subject(s): BIRTH; MYTHOLOGY - CLASSICAL; ORPHEUS; SINGING & SINGERS; CHILD BIRTH; MIDWIFERY;
TOUCH the lyre, on every string,
Touch it, Orpheus, I will sing,
A song which shall immortal be;
Since she I sing's a deity:
A Leonora, whose blest birth
Has no relation to this earth.
