Tang goes the harpsichord, too-too the flute,

Brays the loud trumpet, squeaks the fiddle sharp,

Winds the French-horn, and twangs the tingling harp;

Till, like great Jove, the leader, figuring in,

Attunes to order the chaotic din.

Now all seems hush'd—but, no, one fiddle will

Give, half-ashamed, a tiny flourish still.

Foil'd in his crash, the leader of the clan

Reproves with frowns the dilatory man:

Then on his candlestick thrice taps his bow,
