Descend from heaven, Urania, by that name 



If rightly thou art called, whose voice divine 



Following, above the Olympian hill I soar. 



Above the flight of Pegasean wing. 



The meaning, not the name, I call, for thou 



Nor of the muses nine, nor on the top 



Of old Olympus dwell'st : but heavenly-born, 



Before the hills appeared, or fountain flowed, 



Thou with Eternal Wisdom didst converse, 



Wisdom, thy sister. 



Paradise Lost, B. vii.
