With wavering flight, while fiercer grew
Around the battle yell.

The true sound of any element is expressed more perfectly at the end than at the commencement of a word or a syllable. Take great care to give the subvocals correctly, and to give the sound when it ends the word in a prolonged, pure, and distinct tone. Give each passage as if talking your own thoughts.
