They are mighty waving goldenrods, ever in tune, singing and writing wind-music all their long century lives. Little, however, of this noble tree-waving and tree-music will you see or hear in the strictly alpine portion of the forests. The burly Juniper, whose girth sometimes more than equals its height, is about as rigid as the rocks on which it grows.

The Heads of Houses were all assembled, and the University musicians 'had sounded a lesson on their wind-music, standing on the leads at the west end of the library; but while the Vice-Chancellor was placing a piece of gold on the first stone, the earth fell in, and the scaffold broke, 'so that all those who were thereon, the Proctors, Principals of Halls, etc., fell down all together one upon another, among whom the under-butler of Exeter College had his shoulder broken or put out of joint, and a scholar's arm bruised. It was at this time that Digby made a generous gift of books, all tall copies in good bindings with his initials on the panels at the back.
Of the illuminations, never so grand, the reader shall hear nothing. A "Torch-Procession of the Students" turned out a pretty thing: Students marching with torches, with fine wind-music, regulated enthusiasm, fine succinct address to his Majesty; and all the world escorting, with its "Live Forever!"
As Obadiah loved wind-music preferably to all the instrumental music he carried with him, he very considerately set his imagination to work, to contrive and to invent by what means he should put himself in a condition of enjoying it. Slop must have had three fifths of Job's patience at least to have unloosed them.
Four Jousting Parties, headed each by a Prince of the Blood: with such a splendor of equipment for jewels, silver helmets, sashings, housings, as eye never saw. Under proud flourishings of drums and trumpets, under bursts and breathings of wind-music; under the shine of Forty Thousand Lamps, for one item.
The Banqueting Hall had its walls all hung over with very rich tapestry, representing all kinds of merry scenes of hunting and fighting and the like, and there were great presses along the walls, piled with plate of gold and silver. The music was all on the balusters above wind-music, trumpets and kettledrums, that played as Their Majesties came in, after the heralds and Black Rod.
I presently got up, and had the pleasure of enjoying the sight of a tempestuous sea for four hours before the captain was stirring; for he loved to indulge himself in morning slumbers, which were attended with a wind-music, much more agreeable to the performers than to the hearers, especially such as have, as I had, the privilege of sitting in the orchestra.
