_H. 4. B._ IV, iv, 133. K. Hen. on his sick-bed.
_K. Hen._ Let there be no noise made, my gentle friends;
Unless some _dull and favourable hand_
Will _whisper music_ to my wearied spirit.
_Warwick._ Call for the _music_ in the other room.
_Pericles_ III, ii, 87. Cerimon's house at Ephesus. Thaisa, cast up by
the sea, is brought to life by his directions.
_Cerimon._ Well said, well said; the fire and the cloths.
The _rough and woful music_ that we have,
_Cause it to sound_, beseech you.
The vial once more;--how thou stirr'st, thou block!--
_The music there!_ I pray you, give her air.
_Tempest_ V, i, 51. Prospero employs music to disenchant Alonso,
Antonio, etc.
_Pro._ ... and, _when I have required
Some heavenly music_ (which even now I do),
_To work mine end upon their senses_....
L. 58.
_A solemn air_; and the _best comforter
To an unsettled fancy_, cure thy brains.
Next we have two examples of 'Music at Home.' In the case of the Duke
in Twelfth Night, it is 'concerted' music, and the players seem to be
performing such a quaint old piece as 'The Lord of Salisbury his
Pavin,' by Gibbons, in _Parthenia_, the last 'strain' of which has
just such a 'dying fall' as is mentioned in line 4. [See the remarks
on the passage from _Lucrece_ in Section I.
