John Ashmore

1580-1635 / England

Reverendo In Christo Patri & D.Ioh. King, Episcopo Londinensi

Let men now cease of Orpheus Harp to tell,
Which brought his wife Eurydice from Hell;
Or how Amphion with his Lute did call
Both Stones and Trees to build the Theban wall;
Or how a Dolphin through the Seas did bring
Arion, hyr'd with his harmonious string.
Thy Kingly Trumpet, fild with heavenly breath,
Excels them, raising men to Heaven from Earth.
