Guizot, “Tacite a peint les Germains comme Montaigne et Rousseau les sauvages, dans un acces d’humeur contre sa patrie: son livre est une satire des mœurs Romaines, l’eloquente boutade d’un patriote philosophe qui veut voir la vertu la, ou il ne rencontre pas la mollesse honteuse et la depravation savante d’une vielle societe.” Hist.

CHAPTER III THE KING’S SONG-BIRD MARTIN THE MINSTREL sat under a wayside oak singing softly to himself as he tuned his vielle.

Still, the King is a good master, and lets me roam as I list if I will but come back; ’tis ill-faring in winter, so back I go to pipe in my cage and follow the Court until next Lady-day lets the sun in on us again.” He struck his vielle lightly, and the two fell into a slower pace as the minstrel sang.

There were many guests for the Convent’s hospitality that night, and as Hilarius entered the hall of the guest-house—a brother had charged himself with the care of the Friar—he heard the sound of the vielle, and a rich voice which sang in good round English against the fashion of the day.

The old man had some fifty years ago been no mean performer upon the _vielle_,—and at the age he was then of, touch’d it well enough for the purpose.
