Tune thy Music to thy heart,
Sing thy joy with thanks, and so thy sorrow:
Though Devotion needs not Art,
Sometimes of the poor the rich may borrow.

Strive not yet for curious ways:
Concord pleaseth more, the less ʼtis strained
Zeal affects not outward praise,
Only strives to show a love unfained.

Love can wondrous things effect,
Sweetest sacrifice, all wrath appeasing                     
Love the highest doth respect
Love alone to him is ever pleasing.
