I answered: Of the harmonies I know nothing, but I want to have

one warlike, to sound the note or accent which a brave man utters

in the hour of danger and stern resolve, or when his cause is

failing, and he is going to wounds or death or is overtaken by

some other evil, and at every such crisis meets the blows of

fortune with firm step and a determination to endure; and another

to be used by him in times of peace and freedom of action, when

there is no pressure of necessity, and he is seeking to persuade

God by prayer, or man by instruction and admonition, or on the

other hand, when he is expressing his willingness to yield to

persuasion or entreaty or admonition, and which represents him

when by prudent conduct he has attained his end, not carried away

by his success, but acting moderately and wisely under the

circumstances, and acquiescing in the event.
