He comes in sometimes when I am with Clementina at the piano he is a widower, you know and stands there pulling his white goatee. 'And how are the semiquavers and the demisemiquavers progressing? he always asks. "I wish you could see the wainscoting in that drawing-room, Joe! And those Astrakhan rug portieres. And Clementina has such a funny little cough. I hope she is stronger than she looks.
Louise had just returned from distributing semiquavers in the city; her eyes and poor Mother Gerard's were filled with tears of joy. "What, my darling," said the mother, embracing her child, "are you going to trouble yourself about our necessaries of life, too?" "Do you see this little sister?" said Louise, laughing cordially. "She is going to earn a pile of money as large as she is herself.
For he said that on t'other side the water lived friars who styled themselves her sweet ladyship's most humble servants. Item, the goodly Friar-minors, who are semibreves of bulls; the smoked-herring tribe of Minim Friars; then the Crotchet Friars. So that these diminutives could be no more than Semiquavers.
Panurge, who had since been wholly taken up with staring at these royal Semiquavers, at last pulled one of them by the sleeve, who was as lean as a rake, and asked him, Hearkee me, Friar Quaver, Semiquaver, Demisemiquavering quaver, where is the punk? The Friar, pointing downwards, answered, There. Pan. Pray, have you many? Fri. Few. Pan. How many scores have you? Fri. One. Pan.
I said just now "this dance," but, strictly speaking, the polonaise, which has been called a marche dansante, is not so much a dance as a figured walk, or procession, full of gravity and a certain courtly etiquette. The usual accompaniment consists of a bass note at the beginning of the bar followed, except at the cadences, by five quavers, of which the first may be divided into semiquavers.
You will clearly perceive the truth of this, if you prick the musical characters above mentioned under the verses. The common time of musicians is divided into bars, each of which contains four crotchets, or a proportional number of their subdivision into quavers and semiquavers.
In the first section we have the restless, surging, gushing semiquavers, carrying along with them a passionate, urging melody, and the simultaneous waving triplet accompaniment; in the second section, where the motion of the accompaniment is on the whole preserved, the sonorous, expressive cantilena in D flat major; the third section repeats the first, which it supplements with a coda containing a reminiscence of the cantilena of the second section, which calms the agitation of the semiquavers.
In these lines there is a quaver and a crochet alternately in every bar, except in the last, in which the in make two semiquavers; the e is supposed by Grammarians to be cut off, which any one's ear will readily determine not to be true. In these lines there is a quaver and a crotchet alternately in the first bar; a quaver, two crotchets, and a quaver, make the second bar.
