Music has power to melt the soul,
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.
