Concealment, however, was no longer possible, and our young master came out as active as circumstances required, foremost in every exertion, and issuing his orders amid the gale trumpet-tongued. His manner, so full of animation, resolution and exertion, probably prevented despair from getting the ascendancy at that important moment.
These lines from Macbeth show that Shakespeare will not tolerate such leading strings nor allow the ending of the lines to interfere with his sense: "...Besides, this Duncan Hath borne his faculties so meek, hath been So clear in his great office, that his virtues Will plead like angels, trumpet-tongued against The deep damnation of his taking-off."
He will help us to understand the new diplomacy which had filled the ministers with astonishment. The same week Jack was invited to breakfast with Mr. Edmund Burke and Doctor Franklin. He was awed by the brilliancy of the massive, trumpet-tongued orator and statesman. He writes: "Burke has a most ungainly figure. His gait is awkward, his gestures clumsy, his eyes are covered with large spectacles.
All my past life rose up before me, and all my short-comings all, my mistakes, and all my wilful wickedness, seemed pleading trumpet-tongued against me. I saw her before me whose feet trod with mine the green holts and meadows, when the childish thought strayed not beyond the near or the possible.
The lack-lustre eye, rayless as a Beacon-Street door-plate in August, all at once fills with light; the face flings itself wide open like the church-portals when the bride and bridegroom enter; the little man grows in stature before your eyes, like the small prisoner with hair on end, beloved yet dreaded of early childhood; you were talking with a dwarf and an imbecile, you have a giant and a trumpet-tongued angel before you!

Bishopriggs, with his eye fixed in uneasy expectation on Blanche, "it joost spak' trumpet-tongued when that winsome creature first lookit at me. Will it be she now that told ye of the wee bit sairvice I rendered to her in the time when I was in bondage at the hottle?" "Yes she told me herself." "Might I mak' sae bauld as to ask whar' she may be at the present time?" "I don't know, Mr. Bishopriggs.
The poorest man, the daily worker, the obscurest individual, shares the gift and the blessing of doing good a blessing that imparts no less delight to him who gives than to him who receives. The duty of helping the helpless is one that speaks trumpet-tongued; but especially to those who profess love to God and goodwill to men.
Taking it, he found and asked his friend to read a rather long editorial paragraph. This was all about the trumpet-tongued Merton Chance, congratulating the League on the accession to its ranks of so able a fighter with the pen one who was only too ready to handle other weapons in their cause.
Why, such a scene as this a scene which how few, save the vagrant sportsman, or the countryman who but rarely appreciates the picturesque, have ever witnessed is enough, with the pure and tranquil thoughts it calls up in the heart, to plead a trumpet-tongued apology, for all the vanity, and uselessness, and cruelty, and what not, so constantly alleged against our field sports."
