Abstract
Whilst vitall sapp did make me spring,
And leafe and bough did flourish brave,
I then was dumbe and could not sing,
Ne had the voice which now I have:
But when the axe my life did end,
The Muses nine this voice did send.
—Verses upon the earl of Cork's lute, attributed (ca. 1633) to Edmund Spenser
