Footnote 1:

The epithets "heavenly," "holy," "solemn," &c., represent the nightingale's song, as spoken of by Keats, as the bird's "plaintive anthem;" by Mackay, as its

"Hymn of gratitude and love;"

and by Moore also, in his account of the Vale of Cashmere, as

"The nightingale's hymn from the Isle of Chenars."

In A Proper New Boke of the Armony of Byrdes (quoted by Dibdin, Top. Antiq., iv. 381.), of unknown date, though probably before 1580, the nightingale is represented as singing its Te Deum:

"Tibi Cherubin
Et Seraphin
Full goodly she dyd chaunt,
With notes merely
Incessabile
Voce Prœclamant."

2

(Troilus and Creseide) imagines the nightingale to "stint" at the beginning of its song, and to be frightened at the least noise.

3

This, and the epithets of "sole-sitting" and "unseen," refer to the nightingale's love of solitary seclusion.

4

"He slep no more than doth the nightingale."

    Chaucer, Cant. Pil.
