Sound, sound the clarion, fill the fife!
To all the sensual world proclaim,
One crowded hour of glorious life
Is worth an age without a name. [ Scott ]

A subject's faults a subject may proclaim,
A monarch's errors are forbidden game. [ William Cowper ]

Lightning and thunder (heaven's artillery)
As harbingers before th' Almighty fly:
Those but proclaim His style, and disappear;
The stiller sounds succeed, and God is there. [ John Dryden ]

Critics on verse, as squibs on triumphs wait.
Proclaim their glory, and augment the state;
Hot, envious, noisy, proud, the scribbling fry
Burn, hiss, and bounce, waste paper, ink, and die. [ Young ]

Some thoughtlessly proclaim the Muses nine: A tenth is Sappho, maid divine. [ Greek Anthology ]

A lover is a herald who proclaims the merit, the wit, or the beauty of a woman: what does a husband proclaim? [ Balzac ]

Others proclaim the infirmities of a great man with satisfaction and complacence, if they discover none of the like in themselves. [ Addison ]

Love in modern times has been the tailor's best friend. Every suitor of the nineteenth century spends more than his spare cash on personal adornment. A faultless fit, a glistening hat, tight gloves, and tighter boots proclaim the imminent peril of his position. [ G. A. Sala ]
