Next came two drums, one rebeck, and four soldiers blowing trumpets and silver clarions; then, in the midst of a party of four-and-twenty lacqueys, dressed half in crimson velvet and half in yellow silk, rode Messire George d'Amboise and Monseigneur the Duke of Valentinois.
She stole a side glance at him as he swung along by her. How would it be to be married to a man like him a man with his way to make? They came down to the bridge, escaping from the bustle of the city. From the fir woods the clarions sounded louder, calling to each other like bold and triumphant voices. "Have you got those in your opera?" she asked him. "I shall have them." "Of course."
Let kettle-drums and trumpets and clarions blend their strain; Zulema, Tunis' King, now lands upon the coast of Spain, And with him ride, in arms allied, Marbello and his train."
In breasts where honor dwells there is no room in times like these To dally at a lady's side, kneel at a lady's knees. To arms, to arms, my captains! Sound, clarions; trumpets, blow; And let the thundering kettle-drum Give challenge to the foe. "Yes, in the hour of peril away with pleasure's thrall! Let honor take the lance and steed to meet our country's call.
"O Emir!" the Arab said, after a salaam. A wild fanfare of clarions, cymbals, and drums drowning his voice, he drew nearer, almost to the stirrup. "O Emir!" he said again. This time he was heard. "What wouldst thou?"

We saw glittering in the sun the arms and the distinctive emblems of the legions, an eagle, a wolf, a dragon, a minotaur, and other figures of gilded bronze, decorated with leaves. The wind bore to us the piercing notes of the long Roman clarions, and our hearts leaped at the martial music. A horde of Numidian horsemen, wrapped in long white robes, preceded the army.
At that moment they heard a voice like golden 'cellos and golden clarions and golden viols calling "Koob Soon-n-der, Koob Soon-n-der!" and the boy came past, running hard. "Soon!" he shouted. But Skag was at his heels and Cadman followed close, the short firing-piece in his hands. The paths were narrow, the bamboo dense; the boy leaped into a curve and was lost.
The piercing notes of a score of shrill fifes, the squall of as many clarions, the hoarse bray of a legion of tin trumpets, the angry and fitful snort of a brigade of rugged bassoons, the unintermitting rattle of a dozen or more deafening drums, the clang of bells firing in peals, the boom of gongs, with the sepulchral roar of some unknown contrivance for bass, so deep that you might almost count the vibrations of each note these are a few of the components of the horse-and-cart-organ, the sum-total of which it is impossible to add up.
Pantagruel then arose from table to visit and scour the thicket, and returned presently; having discovered, on the left, an ambuscade of squab Chitterlings; and on the right, about half a league from thence, a large body of huge giant-like armed Chitterlings ranged in battalia along a little hill, and marching furiously towards us at the sound of bagpipes, sheep's paunches, and bladders, the merry fifes and drums, trumpets, and clarions, hoping to catch us as Moss caught his mare.
