It’s Capulets like you make blood in the marketplace—reference to Shakespeare’s tragedy Romeo and Juliet (1596). Romeo, the young heir of the Montagues, attends the great ball of the Capulets in disguise and falls in love with Juliet, the daughter of the house. During a street brawl in the marketplace, Romeo’s friend Mercutio is killed by Juliet’s cousin Tybalt, and Romeo in turn kills Tybalt.

What does the Poet say? The coward dies a thousand deaths; the brave man only 500—The correct quote is “Cowards die many times before their deaths; / The valiant never taste of death but once” -- William Shakespeare, from Julius Caesar.

Bach's conception of the Well-Tempered Clavichord—a clavichord is a stringed musical instrument with keyboard; similar to a harpsichord.  The Well-Tempered Clavier or Clavichord is a musical composition by Bach.  It is a set of preludes and fugues, or musical exercises, that uses all the major and minor keys of the keyboard.  The popularity of this system, used to show off the way a particular 'clavier' was tuned, resulted in pianos and clavichords being tuned the way they are today. In Bach's time the word 'clavier' did not denote any keyboard instrument in particular but meant either harpsichord, clavichord, spinet, virginal, or even the organ.
