Matthew Prior Quote

Often our seers and poets have confess'd,
That music's force can tame the furious beast;
Can make the wolf, or foaming boar restrain
His rage.


Solomon, on the Vanity of the World (1718)


Often our seers and poets have confess'd, That music's force can tame the furious beast; Can make the wolf, or foaming boar restrain His rage.
