Might Apollo's lore just be the skill of music - one of Apollo's many
   attributes?

     From the desk of H. Purcell, the Obscure:
     O, how I solitude adore!
     That element of noblest wit,
     Where I have learnt Apollo's lore,
     Without the pains to study it.
     For thy sake I in love am grown
     With what thy fancy does pursue;
     But when I think upon my own,
     I hate it for that reason too,
     Because it needs must hinder me
     From seeing and from serving thee.
     O solitude, O how I solitude adore!
     Does anyone know what is "Apollo's lore."  I guess that it's
     something
     that life teaches so that on does not have to go through the pain of
     studying it, but, really, pretty clueless.
     Thanks,
     Peter.
     The next auto-quote (sent from my commercial-free computer) is:
     I reverse the phrase of Voltaire, and say that if God
     really existed, it would be necessary to abolish him.
     (Mikhail Bakunin)
