Note 6 — BOOK III.
Rowland Smith translation
"——The gay troops begin, In gallant thought to plume the painted wing And try again the long forgotten strain, At first faint warbled— . . . . . . Then, all at once alive, then joy o'erflows In music unconfined."—Thomson.
Should the reader wish to see the song of the Nightingale represented by a series of words, he is referred to p. 108 of Paget's Warden of Berkingholt, where he will find the imitation by the learned Doctor Bechstein, of Walterhausen.
