        Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
        Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
        Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                    Ah you need to work on what Chennai used to be called, mercs.

                    And Humperdinck is not on the card. Continents away in fact

                        H is a composer not born in Madras but Madras is a title

                        PS: Composer's name does not indicate birthplace
