“The trumpets sound, the banners fly,
The glittering spears are ranked ready;
The shouts o’ war are heard afar,
The battle closes thick and bloody;
But it’s no the roar o’ sea or shore
Wad mak me langer wish to tarry;
Nor shout o’ war that’s heard afar,
Its leaving thee, my bonnie Mary.”
—Robert Burns (1759–1796)

“I will aggravate my voice so that I will roar you as gently as any sucking dove. I will roar you and ‘twere any nightingale.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
