Wee also have Sound-houses, where wee practice and demonstrate
all Sounds, and their Generation. Wee have harmonies which you have not,
of Quarter Sounds, and lesser Slides of Sounds. Diverse Instruments of
Musick likewise to you unknowne, some sweeter than any you have; Together
with Bells and Rings that are dainty and sweet. Wee represent Small Sounds
as well as Great and Deeper Likeweise Great Sounds, Extenuate and Sharper.
Wee make diverse Tremblings and Warblings of Sounds, which in their Originalle
are Entire. Wee represent and imitate all Articulate Sounds and Letters
and the Voices and Notes of Beasts and Birds. Wee have certain Helps, which
sett to the Eare doe further the Hearing greatly.
Wee also have Strange and Artificial Echos's, Reflecting the Voice many
times, and as it were Tossing it; And some that give back the Voice lowder
than it cam, some Shriller, some Deeper;
Yea some rendering the Voice, Differing in the letters or Articulate Sound,
from that they receyve, Wee have also means to convey Sounds in Trunks
and Pipes, in strange Lines, and Distances... (DJ Francis Bacon)
