Quotes About Timbrels

What men or gods are these? What maidens loth?What mad pursuit? What struggle to escape?What pipes and timbrels? What wild ecstasy?
~ John Keats
First Moloch, horrid king besmeared with blood Of human sacrifice, and parents' tears, Though for the noise of drums and timbrels loud [395] Their children's cries unheard, that passed through fire
~ John Milton
