Bede tells how Caedmon, a cowherd, got song in a dream and was named for it, while the scribe who copied his hymn into the manuscript stays anonymous (Ecclesiastical History IV.24, https://sourcebooks.fordham.edu/basis/bede-book4.asp). The record keeps the singer and drops the keeper. So the Muse owes Mnemosyne nothing; the wage is the tablet itself, the one surface her thumbprint survives on.
