Lyrics: Anon.
Tune: Timothy Swan
Meter: L.M.D. (8,8,8,8,8,8,8,8)

Oft I am told the muse will prove,
A friend to piety and love;
Straight I begin some sacred song,
And take my Saviour on my tongue,
Strangely I lose his lovely face,
To hold the empty sound in chase,
At best the chimes divide my heart,
And the muse shares the greatest part.
