Musick her figures, the same with Rhetorick > What
is a R?vert> but her Antijlrophe ? her Reports, but
sweet Anaphora’s > her counterehange of points, An-
tmetabole’sl her pallionate Airs, but Frosopopza's*
with insinite other of the same nature.
How doth Musick amaze us,when of sound diseords,.
she maketh the sweeteft Harmony > And who can siiew
