Philip Sidney - Astrophel And Stella-Seventh Song
Work rating: Low

Whose senses in so evil consort, their stepdame Nature lays, 
That ravishing delight in them most sweet tunes do not raise; 
Or, if they do delight therein, yet are so cloy`d with wit, 
As with sententious lips to set a title vain on it: 
Oh let them hear these sacred tunes, and learn in wonder`s schools 
To be in things past bounds of wit, fools, if they be not fools. 

Who have so leaden as, as not to see sweet Beauty`s show, 
Or seeing, have so wooden wits, as not that worth to know; 
Or knowing, have so muddy minds, as not to be in love; 
Or loving, have so frothy thoughts, as eas`ly thence to move: 
Oh let them see these heav`nly beams, and in fair letters read 
A lesson fit, both sight and skill, love and firm love to breed. 

Hear then, but then with wonder hear; see, but adoring see 
No mortal gifts, no earthly fruits, now here descended be: 
See, do you see this face? A face? nay image of the skies, 
Of which the two life-giving lights are figur`d in her eyes: 
Hear you this soul-invading voice, and count it but a voice? 
The very essense of their tunes, when angels do rejoice.
