I caught no sound of chimes on the present occasion, yet I am sensible that my hearing is not what it was.

Once, my dearbut the world was young then Magdalen elms and Trinity limes Lissom the blades and the backs that swung then, Eight good men in the good old times Careless we, and the chorus flung then Under St Mary's chimes!

'DingdongTintinabulary chimes, used metaphorically to signify dispatch and vehemence.'

Her merry laughter, soft and low, Is as the chimes of silver bells, That like sweet anthems float, and flow Through woodland groves and bosky dells, And when the violets see her eyes, They flush and glowwith love and shame, They meekly droop with sad surprise, As though unworthy of the name.

THE WALKING BELL (1813) A child refused to go betimes To church like other people; He roamed abroad, when rang the chimes On Sundays from the steeple.

My will, my great high will, went ringing chimes of what I would do through the house where I was born, where my mother has just died, and I swung this right arm forth into the air of existence, and said, 'I will do what I will; men shall say I am a master in the land.'

In the steeple are twelve musical bells, and a set of chimes, that play with great accuracy a different tune every day in the week, at the hour of three, six, nine and twelve; and they are so contrived, that they shift from one tune to another, by means of their own machinery.

The dome in some degree resembles that of St. Paul's, in London, and in the tower underneath it are ten musical bells, and a set of chimes that play a different tune every day in the week, at the hours of one, four, seven, and ten; which tunes shift of themselves by means of the machinery.

Withinside the church there are numerous ancient monuments, and an inscription, signifying that William Hopkins, yeoman, Richard Hawkes, and Robert Carter, caused the chimes of this church to be made and set up, at their equal and proper cost and charges, A. D. 1635.

Easter chimes.

Here, like those chimes which wander unheeded over the house-tops of the roaring town, till they drop down blessed dews of Heaven into still, grass-grown courts and deserted by-ways, the great universal human heart beats closer to our own, and our whole being palpitates with almost ethereal sympathies.

Crowned with four square towers of considerable height and magnitude, each with a lion and vane on the top; it had besides, a large, lantern-shaped central turret, proudly domineering over the others, and "made with timber of excellent workmanship, curiously wrought with divers pinnacles at each corner, wherein were hung twelve bells for chimage, and a clock with chimes of sundry work."
