At the great and princely banquets, when the pledge went round and the heart's desire of lasting health, says the chronicler, "the same was straight wayes knowne, by sound of Drumme and Trumpet, and the cannon's loudest voyce." It was so in Hamlet's day: "And as he drains his draughts of Rhenish down, The kettle-drum and trumpet thus bray out The triumph of his pledge."
