Base Notes

Famous quotes containing the words base and/or notes:

    Then must you speak
    Of one the lov’d not wisely but too well;
    Of one not easily jealous, but, being wrought,
    Perplex’d in the extreme; of one whose hand,
    Like the base Indian, threw a pearl away
    Richer than all his tribe;
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    The soft complaining FLUTE
    In dying Notes discovers
    The Woes of hopeless Lovers,
    Whose Dirge is whisper’d by the warbling LUTE.
    John Dryden (1631–1700)
