. . . [6 lines] There was formerly a gentleman of Gray's
Inn, whose genius led him to the study of music, which he
pursued with a truly algebraic head; and divided and
subdivided the notes into such a variety of parts, and in so
subtle a manner, that at length, neither himself, nor any
body else, could understand them: nor could any instrument
be found, capable of conveying to the ear what kind of music
they were intended to ravish us with.
