Introduction to an Album + 

I am a harp of many chords, and each + 

Strung by a separate hand;⁠—most musical + 

My notes, discoursing with the mental sense, + 

Not the outward ear. Try them, they will reply + 

With wisdom, fancy, graceful gaiety, + 

Or ready wit, or happy sentiment. + 

Come, add a string to my assort of sounds; + 

Widen the compass of my harmony; + 

And join thyself in fellowship of name + 

With those, whose courteous labour and fair gifts + 

Have given me voice, and made me what I am. + 
