The
POWER
of
MUSIC
.
A
SONG
.
Imitated
from
the
SPANISH
.
By
the
same
.
Set
to
Music
by
Dr.
HAYES
.
I.
WHEN
Orpheus
went
down
to
the
regions
below
,
Which
Men
are
forbidden
to
see
,
He
tun'd
up
his
lyre
,
as
old
histories
shew
,
To
set
his
Eurydice
free
.
II
All
hell
was
astonish'd
a
person
so
wise
Shou'd
rashly
endanger
his
life
,
And
venture
so
far
,
—
but
how
vast
their
surprise
!
When
they
heard
that
he
came
for
his
wife
.
III
.
To
find
out
a
punishment
due
to
his
fault
,
Old
Pluto
had
puzzled
his
brain
,
But
hell
had
not
torments
sufficient
,
he
thought
,
—
So
he
gave
him
his
wife
back
again
.
IV
.
But
pity
succeeding
found
place
in
his
heart
,
And
pleas'd
with
his
playing
so
well
,
He
took
her
again
in
reward
of
his
art
;
Such
merit
had
music
in
hell
!
