    “Thus, with child to speak, and helpless in my throes,

    Fool! said my muse to me, look in thy heart, and write.”

    “Lord, when the wise men came from far,
    Led to thy cradle by a star,
    Then did the shepherds too rejoice,
    Instructed by thy angel’s voice.
    Blest were the wise men in their skill,
    And shepherds in their harmless will.”
    —Sidney Godolphin (1610–1693)
