Famous quotes containing the word notes:

    What neat repast shall feast us, light and choice,
    Of Attick tast, with Wine, whence we may rise
    To hear the Lute well toucht, or artfull voice
    Warble immortal Notes and Tuskan Ayre?
    He who of those delights can judge, and spare
    To interpose them oft, is not unwise.
    John Milton (1608–1674)

    A little black thing among the snow
    Crying “’weep, ‘weep,” in notes of woe!
    “Where are thy father & mother? say?”
    “They are both gone up to the church to pray.
    William Blake (1757–1827)

    The soft complaining FLUTE
    In dying Notes discovers
    The Woes of hopeless Lovers,
    Whose Dirge is whisper’d by the warbling LUTE.
    John Dryden (1631–1700)
