Which flutt’ring, seem’d to loiter as it flew:

And faintly tinkl’d on the brazen shield. John Dryden, Æn.The sprightly horse
Moves to the musick of his tinkling bells. Robert Dodsley, Agr.The wand’ring streams that shine between the hills,
The grots that echo to the tinkling rills. Alexander Pope.With deeper brown the grove was overspread,
A sudden horrour seiz’d his giddy head,
And his ears tinkled, and the colour fled. Dryden.
