Note 6 — BRAMSTON'S "MAN OF TASTE"

Ed. 1759, p. 151. [7] Montaigne has a somewhat similar illustration: "As Cleanthes The Man of Taste's idol, in matters dramatic, is said, that as the voice being forciblie pent in the narrow gullet of a trumpet, at last issueth forth more strong and shriller, so me seemes, that a sentence cunningly and closely couched in measure-keeping Posie, darts it selfe forth more furiously, and wounds me even to the quicke" (Essayes, bk. i. ch. xxv. (Florio's translation).
