UPON JULIA’S VOICE
Againe
When I thy singing next shall heare,
Ile wish I might turne all to eare,
To drink in Notes and Numbers; such
As blessed soules cann’t heare too much:
Then melted down, there let me lye
Entranc’d, and lost confusedly;
And, by thy Musique strucken mute,
Die, and be turn’d into a Lute.
