do not, it is a vice in _her
ears_, which _horse-hairs_, and _calves'-guts_, ... can
never amend.

In l. 14, 'fingering' and 'tongue' correspond to 'playing' and
'singing.' The first is to be a 'Fancy' for viols, 'a very excellent
good-conceited thing'; the second is the 'wonderful sweet air,' Hark!
hark! the lark.

'Good-conceited' means having many 'conceits.' These 'fancies' were
always contrapuntal, and the various artificial contrivances,
answering of points, imitations, and what not, are referred to under
this title. The mention of 'horse-hairs and calves'-guts' makes it
clear that the instruments in this 'morning music' were Viols.

Another 'evening music' is provided by Pericles, Prince of Tyre.

_Pericles_ II, v, 24. Pericles, a musician [his education had been 'in
_arts_ and arms,' see II, iii, 82].

_Per._ All fortune to the good Simonides!

_Sim._ To you as much, sir! _I am beholding to you
For your sweet music this last night_: I do
Protest, my ears were never better fed
With such _delightful pleasing harmony_.

_Per._ It is your grace's pleasure to commend,
Not my desert.

_Sim._ Sir, _you are music's master_.

_Per._ The worst of all her scholars, my good lord.

The next quotation is also of 'morning music,' but with a different
object--not a lady, but a soldier, and of a somewhat rough and ready
kind, to judge by the Clown's critical remarks.

The passage seems to indicate the use of Bagpipes; for 'they speak
in the _nose_' (see _Merchant_ IV, i, 48), and are called
_wind_-instruments, and are mentioned under the name 'pipes' in the
last two lines. Moreover, there is the remark of the Clown,
represented here by stars, which is terribly appropriate to that
instrument.

_Othello_ III, i. Cassio brings musicians to salute Othello.

_Cass._ Masters, _play here_; I will content your pains:
Something that's brief; and bid "Good morrow, general."

[_Music._]

_Enter Clown._

_Clo._ Why, masters, _have your instruments been in Naples_,
that they _speak i' the nose_ thus?

_1 Mus._ How, sir, how?

_Clo._ Are these, I pray you, called _wind_-instruments?

_1 Mus._ Ay, marry, are they, sir.

_Clo._ ... masters, here's money for you; and _the general
so likes your music_, that _he desires you_, for love's
