Subject: RE: Why do the birds 'change their voices'?
Such language comes down from the 18thc theatres and pleasure gardens. Flowery language in abundance with no real depth of meaning. It isn't really worth trying to read too much into such language. If you have had to plough through thousands of such pieces in order to find a few gems you'd know what I mean.
