If Music be the food of love sing on,sing on till I am fill'd with joy:
For then my list'ning soul you move to pleasures that can never cloy. your eyes,your mien, your tongue declare that you are music ev'ry where
Pleasures invade both eye and ear so fierce the transports are they wound, and all my senses feasted are, tho' yet the treat is only sound.
Sing on, fair nymph, enchant me still; such charms may wound, they can not kill.
