Great be the manners, of the bard.

With the coil of rhythm and number;

He shall aye climb
For his rhyme.
Pass in, pass in, the angels say,”

Wert Living the same Poet which thourt Now,
Whilst Angels sing to thee their ayres divine,
And joy in an applause so great as thine.
Equal society with them to hold,
Thou needst not make new Songs, but say the Old.”
—Abraham Cowley (16181667)
