The trumpet shall be heard on high,
The dead shall live, the living die,
And musick shall untune the sky. Dryden.The captives, as their tyrant shall require,
That they should breathe the song, and touch the lyre,
Shall say; can Jacob’s servile race rejoice,
Untun’d the musick, and disus’d the voice? Matthew Prior.O you kind gods!
Cure this great breach in his abused nature;
Th’ untuned and jarring senses, O wind up
Of this child-changed father. William Shakespeare, K. Lear.
