[drybeat] you with an iron wit, and put up my iron
dagger. Answer me like men:
'[When griping grief] the heart doth wound,
And doleful dumps the mind oppress,
Then music with her silver sound'—
why 'silver sound'? why 'music with her silver
sound'?—What say you, Simon [Catling]?
1 Musician. Marry, sir, because silver hath a
sweet sound.
