Honour to you who sit <br />Near to the well of wit, <br />And drink your fill of it! <br /> <br />Glory and worship be <br />To you, sweet Maids, thrice three, <br />Who still inspire me; <br /> <br />And teach me how to sing <br />Unto the lyric string, <br />My measures ravishing! <br /> <br />Then, while I sing your praise, <br />My priest-hood crown with bays <br />Green to the end of days!<br /><br />Robert Herrick<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-hymn-to-the-muses/
