St. Ceciliadetails

——Divine Cecilia came,
    Inventress of the vocal frame;
The sweet enthusiast, from her sacred store,
    Enlarg’d the former narrow bounds,
    And added length to solemn sounds,
With nature’s mother-wit, and arts unknown before.
    Let old Timotheus yield the prize,
    Or both divide the crown;
    He rais’d a mortal to the skies,
    She drew an angel down.” (p. 1497)
