Note 169 — REIGN OF JAMES VI.: 1585-1590. (continued 2)
Reading edition
Regals, or rigols, an ancient musical instrument, composed of a series of reeded tubes resting on a bellows, which the player worked with his left hand. See Dalyell’s Musical Memoirs of Scotland, 1849, p. 117.
One is at a loss to understand how the poet thought of expressing his admiration of the strings of the organ and regals.
