Quotations for lute

How sweet the answer Echo makes
To music at night.
When, roused by lute or horn, she wakes,
And far away, over lawns and lakes,
Goes answering light. [ Moore ]

It is the little rift within the lute
That by and by will make the music mute,
And, ever widening, slowly silence all. [ Alfred Tennyson ]

Did you ever before hear an ass play upon a lute? [ Proverb ]

Grim-visaged war hath smoothed his wrinkled front...
He capers nimbly in a lady's chamber,
To the lascivious pleasing of a lute. [ William Shakespeare, Richard III ]

The lute is in the hand of him that knows how to play on it. [ Proverb ]

Touch not the lute when drums are sounding around; when fools have the word, the wise will be silent. [ Herder ]

How charming is divine philosophy! not harsh nor crabbed, as dull fools suppose, but musical as is Apollo's lute! [ Milton ]

With a clear sky, a bright sun, and a gentle breeze, you have friends in plenty; but let fortune frown, and the firmament be overcast, and then your friends will prove like the strings of the lute, of which you tighten ten before you find one that will bear the stretch and keep the pitch. [ Gotthold ]
