ODE FOR THE CONSORT AT YORK-BUILDINGS , Upon the DEATH Of Mr. Henry Purcell . I. WEEP , all ye Muses , weep o'er Damon's Herse , And pay the grateful Honours of your Verse ; Each Mournful Strain in softest Accents dress , His Praises , and your Sorrows to express . Ye Sons of Art , lament your Learned Chief With all the Skill and Harmony of Grief : To Damon's Herse your Tuneful Tribute bring , Who taught each Note to speak , and ev'ry Muse to Sing . II . 1st Accompanyment .

Flat Trumpet .

Hark! How the Warlike Trumpet groans ! The Warlike Trumpet sadly moans , Instructed once by Damon's Art

Sharp Trumpet .

To warm the Active Souldier's Heart , To soften Danger , sweeten Care , And smooth the rugged Toils of War ,

Flat Trumpet .

Now with Shrill Grief , and Melancholy Strains Of Damon's Death , and Albion's Loss complains .

Accompanyment .

Hautbois and Violin .

The sprightly Hautbois , and gay Violin By Damon taught to Charm the listning Ear , To fill the Ecchoing Theatre , And with rich Melody to adorn each Scene , Forget their Native Chearfulness , Their wonted Air , and Vigour to express , And in Dead doleful Sounds a Tuneless Grief confess .

Chorus .

W●ep , all ye Muses , weep o'er Damon's Herse , And pay the grateful Honours of your Verse . III .

〈…〉

F●●e and Th●●●bo .

Mark how the Melancholy Flute , Joyns in sad Consort with the amorous Lute , Lamenting Damon's hapless Fate : From him they learn'd to tell the Lover's Care , With soft Complaints to move the cruel Fair , To calm her Anger , and to change her Hate .

4th Accompanyment .

Organ .

The various Organ taught by Damon's Hand A Nobler Passion to Command , The roving Fancy to refine , And raise the ravish'd Soul with Charms Divine , Now in deep Sighs employs its Tuneful Breath , And bids each secret Sound Conspire To mourn its Darling Damon's Death , And with consenting Grief to form one num'rous Choir .

Chorus .

Weep , all ye Muses , weep o'er Damon's Herse , And pay the grateful Honours of your Verse . IV . Cease , cease , ye Sons of Art , forbear To aggravate your sad Despair ! Cease to lament your Learned Chief With fruitless Skill , and hopeless Grief : For sure , if Mortals here below Ought of Diviner Beings know , Damon's large Mind informs some active Sphere , And circles in Melodious Raptures there , Mixt with his Fellow Choristers above In the bright Orbs of Harmony and Love .

Grand Chorus :

Cease , cease , ye Sons of Art , &c.

Printed for Francis Saunders , at the Blew Anchor in the Lower Walk of the New Exchange . 1695.
