Andrew Marvell - Musicks Empire Lyrics

First was the World as one great Cymbal made
Where Jarring Windes to infant Nature plaid
All Musick was a solitary sound
To hollow Rocks and murm'ring Fountains bound

Jubal first made the wilder Notes agree;
And Jubal tun'd Musicks Jubilee:
He call'd the Ecchoes from their sullen Cell
And built the Organs City where they dwell

Each sought a consort in that lovely place;
And Virgin Trebles wed the manly Base
From whence the Progeny of numbers new
Into harmonious Colonies withdrew

Some to the Lute, some to the Viol went
And others chose the Cornet eloquent
These practising the Wind, and those the Wire
To sing Mens Triumphs, or in Heavens quire

Then Musick, the Mosaique of the Air
Did of all these a Solemn noise prepare:
With which She gain'd the Empire of the Ear
Including all between the Earth and Sphear

Victorious sounds! yet here your Homage do
Unto a gentler Conqueror than you;
Who though He flies the Musick of his praise
Would with you Heavens Hallelujahs raise
