Pretty good score, but retake for humanities program?

I took the GRE on Friday and did well (170Q, 162V), but from what I see humanities programs like to see high verbal scores. I would eventually like to pursue a PhD in musicology. I'm also a GRE tutor and should have been able to get a higher V score (though I may have gotten a bit lucky with the quant.) AWA isn't out yet, but I'm expecting 5ish. is there any point in a retake? Thanks.

Anything in the 90% percentile is pretty darn good. A retake just depends on how competitive the grad schools you apply to are. You could ask the program coordinators for ball park range of GRE scores and sometime they will throw out a number.
