Lo, now the din of the Races sounds about me!
My ears are smitten with sudden and general cheering.

I can endure an uproar with complete resignation.
The medley of voices blended in one note sounds to me like the dashing of waves, or like the wind that lashes the tree-tops, or like any other sound which conveys no meaning.
