«Owls would have hooted in St Peter's choir,/ And foxes stunk and littered in St Paul's.»
«Virgin-choir to make delicious moan / Upon the midnight hours.»
«She marking them begins a wailing note And sings extemporally a woeful ditty; How love makes young men thrall and old men dote; How love is wise in folly, foolish-witty: Her heavy anthem still concludes in woe, And still the choir of echoes answer so»
