TEXT_EXPL_XML <p>LO, <persName type="mythological">ORPHEVS</persName> with his harpe, that sauage kinde did tame:<lb/>
        The Lions fierce, and Leopardes wilde, and birdes about him came.<lb/>
        For, with his musicke sweete, their natures hee subdu'de:<lb/>
        But if wee thinke his playe so wroughte, our selues wee doe delude.<lb/>
        For why? besides his skill, hee learned was, and wise:<lb/>
        And coulde with sweetenes of his tonge, all sortes of men suffice.<lb/>
        And those that weare most rude, and knewe no good at all:<lb/>
        And weare of fierce, and cruell mindes, the worlde did brutishe call.<lb/>
        Yet with persuasions sounde, hee made their hartes relente,<lb/>
        <term id="embstma_1667_19801"/>That meeke, and milde they did become, and followed where he wente.<lb/>
        Lo these, the Lions fierce, these, Beares, and Tigers weare:<lb/>
        The trees, and rockes, that lefte their roomes, his musicke for to heare.<lb/>
        But, you are happie most, who in suche place doe staye:<lb/>
        You neede not <rs>THRACIA</rs> seeke, to heare some impe of <persName>ORPHEVS</persName> playe.<lb/>
        <term id="embstma_1667_19802"/>Since, that so neare your home, <persName type="mythological">Apollos</persName> darlinge dwelles;<lb/>
        <term id="embstma_1667_19803"/>Who <persName type="mythological">LINVS</persName>, &amp; <persName type="mythological">AMPHION</persName> staynes, and <persName type="mythological">ORPHEVS</persName> farre excelles.<lb/>
        For, hartes like marble harde, his harmonie doth pierce:<lb/>
        And makes them yeelding passions feele, that are by nature fierce.<lb/>
        But, if his musicke faile: his curtesie is suche,<lb/>
        That none so rude, and base of minde, but hee reclaimes them muche.<lb/>
        Nowe since you, by deserte, for both, commended are:<lb/>
        I choose you, for a Iudge herein, if truthe I doe declare.<lb/>
        And if you finde I doe, then ofte therefore reioyce:<lb/>
        And thinke, I woulde suche neighbour haue, if I might make my choice.<lb/>
