“Beat ! beat! drums!- blow! bugles! blow! Through the windows through the doors- burst like a ruthless force. Into the solemn church and scatter the congregation; Into the school where the scholar is studying; Leave not the bridegroom quiet -no happiness must he have now with his bride; Nor the peaceful farmer any peace, ploughing his field or gathering his grain; So fierce you whirr and pound you drums – so shrill you bugles blow.”
