Tintinnabulation

There are some beautifully descriptive sections in Inferno: often at the beginning of a Canto.

Here's the beginning of Canto XXII

I have seen horsemen moving camp, and beating
   The muster and assault, seen troops advancing,
   And sometimes with uncommon haste retreating,

Seen forays in your land, and coursers prancing,
   O Aretines! and I've beheld some grandish
   Tilts runs and tourneys fought, with banners dancing,

And fife and drum, and signal-flares a-brandish
   From towers, and cars with tintinnabulation
   Of bells, and things both native and outlandish;

But so strange a trumpet's proclamation
   I ne'er saw move or infantry or cavalry,
   Or ship by sea-mark or by constellation.
