-{{Text|English|Music has power to melt the soul,
+{{LinkText|Music has power}}
-by beauty nature's swayed.
-Each can the universe control
-without the other's aid.
-But here together both appear
-and force united try.
-Music enchants the listening ear
-and beauty charms the eye.
-What cruelty! these pow'rs to join,
-these transports who can bear!
-O let the sound be less divine,
-or look the nymph less fair.}}
