96. UPON JULIA'S VOICE

When I thy singing next shall hear,

I'll wish I might turn all to ear,

To drink-in notes and numbers, such

As blessed souls can't hear too much

Then melted down, there let me lie

Entranced, and lost confusedly;

And by thy music strucken mute,

Die, and be turn'd into a Lute.
