He is by no means confined to a half-tone grace-note 
either nor is he unmindful of a certain pleasing variety

This is a bit I got on June 11th, in a pasture of Campton 
and the next came from the same place on July 24th. 
Twice 8va. Aceel. et cres. 
Again, the little musician once in a while attempts a 
sustained tone and then proceeds with his customary 
accelerando on a lower tone, thus: 
Franquillo. 
Accel. et ‘eres. 
The variety of tones may be very considerable, but 
there is absolutely no exception to the rule that the time 
is accelerated and the volume of sound increased as the 
song proceeds; only occasionallythe song is doubled thus: 
Accel. et cres.dim. Heeel.et cres.
