On the Soft and Gentle Motions of Eudora

 DIvine Thalia strike th'Harmonious Lute, 
But with a Stroke so Gentle as may sute
 The silent gliding of the Howers,
 Or yet the calmer growth of Flowers;
 Th'ascending or the falling Dew,
 Which none can see, though all find true.
 
 For thus alone,
 Can be shewn,
 How downie, how smooth,
 Eudora doth Move,
 How Silken her Actions appear,
 The Aire of her Face,
 Of a gentler Grace
 Then those that do stroke the Eare.
 
 Her Address so sweet,
 So Modestly Meet, 

That 'tis not the Lowd though Tuneable String,
Can shewforth so soft, so Noyseless a Thing! 
 O This to express from thy Hand must fall,
 Then Musicks self, something more Musical.
