no sooner had Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, but the babe leap'd within her:

no sooner did the sound of your salutation strike mine ear, than the babe leap'd within me for joy.

and you, dear babe, you shall be the prophet of the most high: for you shall go before the Lord, in order to prepare his way,

and by this sign shall you know him; you will find the babe swathed, lying in a manger.

accordingly they hasted thither, and found Mary and Joseph with the babe lying in the manger.

And even inanimate instruments of sound, whether pipe or harp, except they have a distinct variety of notes, how can they express any significant tune?
