* Vcr, 23. t Ver. 54. GEORGE HERBERT. 265 Quin redde formas, O bone, priftinas, £t nos reducas ad lapides avos : Nam faxa mirantur canentes, Saxa lyras, citharafque callent. Rupes tenaces, et filices ferunt Potentiori carmine percitas Saltus per incultos, lacufque Orphea mellifluum fecutas. Et faxa diris hifpida montibus Amphionis teftitudine nobili Percufla dum currunt ad urbem, Masnia contribuere Thebis. Tantum repertimi eft trux hominiun genus^ Qui templa facris expoliant choris, Non erubefc...entes vel ipfas Duritia fuperare cautes. O plena centum Mufica Gratiis, Praeclariorum ^irituum cibus. Quo me vocas tandem, tuumque Ut celebrem decus infufurras ? Tu Diva miro poUice fpiritimi Casno profani corporis exuens Ter millies caelo reponis : Aftra rogant, Novus hie quis hofpes ?* Ardore Mqfes concitus entheo, Merfis revertens laetus ab hoftibus Exufcitat plebem facratos Ad Dominum properare cantus. Quid hocce ? Pfalmos audion' ? O dapes ! O fucculenti balfama fpiritus ! Ramenta casli, guttulseque Deciduae melioris orbis Quos Davidj ipfae delicias Dei, Ingens piorum gloria Principum, Sionis excelfas ad arces Cum citharis, lituifque mifcet.
