"Suddenly there appeared to him an angel in a great radiance, which angel held a viol in his left hand and a bow in his right.

I did suppose as how you would have slipt your cable, and changed your berth; but, I see, when a young fellow is once brought up by a pretty wench, he may man his capstans and viol block, if he wool; but he'll as soon heave up the Pike of Teneriffe, as bring his anchor aweigh!
Or else we are led into some dainty, pale-tinted panel of Botticelli, where the maidens dance in white clinging clothes, strewing flowers on to the flower-freaked turf; or into some of Poliphilo's vignettes, where the gentle ladies, seated with lute and viol under vine-trellises, welcome the young gallant, or poet, or knight.

These Joe had now covered over with the broken skin of the drum, to make the box water tight.
When musicians make demands musical instrument makers are ever ready to meet them, and the viol steadily improved. The belief that he originated the violin rests chiefly on the elaborately ornamented forgeries bearing his name, the work of French imitators from 1800 to 1840.
"I am fond of the violincello, the viola da gamba of medieval times. Properly it is not a viol not a base viol as some suppose, but a violin of extra large size. That is what it is." While imparting this knowledge, the speaker drew from a baize bag the instrument, and tuned it. He placed an open music book upon a rest, and proceeded to entertain his audience of one.
Then came his brother Dankwart, to whom the Margrave's daughter gave richly broidered apparel, that afterward he wore merrily among the Huns. None had touched any of these things but for love of the host that offered them so kindly. Yet, or long, they bare him such hate that they slew him. Bold Folker then stepped forth with knightly bearing and stood before Gotelind with his viol.
