Remarks:
Erato, the “Lovely” is the muse of love poetry and mimicry, 
and is seen with a lyre and sometimes wears a crown of roses.

But when Erato brushed her flowery lute, 
What strains of sweetness whispered in the wind! 
Soft as at evening when the shepherd’s flute 
To tones of melting love alone resigned, 
Breathes through the windings of the silent vale; 
Complaining accents tremble on the gale, 
Or notes of ecstasy serenely roll. 
So when the smiling muse of Cupid sung, 
Her melody sighed out the sorrowing soul, 
Or o’er her silken chords sweet notes of gladness rung. 

From An Ode To Music, by James G. Percival
