"There thou shalt hear and learn the secret power Of harmony, in tones and numbers hit By voice or hand, and various-maesured verse, Aeolian charms and Dorian lyric odes, And his who gave them breath, but higher sung, Blind Melesigenes, thence Homer called, Whose poem Phoebus challenged for his own."
