Attend. Attentive.

To hear with such attention As if they heard the inquired oracle Pronouncing of thair fare. As if the words they heare Were not received, but grafted in the eare, And with a greedy eare, Devoured up his discourse. To hear with sucking ears. Eare was al their sence. To drink with thirsty ears. The soul climbes up into the eare. With double ravishment She hung uppon his melting lips attent.

With greedy ear she hung Upon his words dropt from his melting tongue, With due attention lent a chained eare. The soul dwelt in the ears. A melting eare, Prepared for soft attention To tye, chain, linke, lock the eares unto the tongue. Still silence did enlarge the eare For quick attention. The soul is planted in the ear. Every sense made hast to be all ear. The greedy ear clings to the speakers lips.
