his Casella whom he woo'd to sing Met in the milder shades of Purgatory J. Milton To my worthy Friend and Countriman Mr. Henry Lawes upon his owne and his Brother Mr. William Lawes's incomparable Works WHere shall I place my wonder when I see Such right in both to 't such equalitie Of worth in either that it cann't be knowne Which does the greatest and the highest owne So when two Tapers mixe their beames we say Not this more lustre has or that more ray But each has title to the light and they Make up one common undistinguish'd day Or as when th' Flamen divers incense fires The perfume severs not but in one aspires So that from this Spice or that piece of Gum We cannot say such or such odours come But mounting in a generall unknowne cloud The wonder of the breath 's to each allow'd So here such equall worth from each does flow That to each light to each we incense owe. 'T was no necessitie yet this Union made As when a weaker light does droop and fade Unlesse assisted by another No Each singly could full beames and odours throw No wanton ruder aires affright your eare Th' are pious only and chaste numbers here Such was that lovely Poean when the displeas'd Incensed God th' Achaick Host appeas'd Becoming or the Temple or the Shrine Fit to the words they speak like them divine Such numbers does the soule consist of where she Meeting a glance of her owne harmonie Moves to those sounds she heares and goes along With the whole sense and passion of the song So to an equall height two strings being wound This trembles with the others stroke and th' sound Which stirr'd this first the other does awake And the same harmonie they both partake Nor doe they only with the soule agree In this they share too in its eternitie And this the one part of this work has tri'd For though himselfe remov'd this does abide And shall doe ever here his memory Shall still survive and contemne destiny The same waits you Sir and when e'r you 'r sent From us you 'll live here your owne monument Fr.
