Hindle was a countertenor and a lay vicar of Westminster Abbey. A performer in the London concerts of the 1790s, he published glees, songs and chants.
Lyrics: Alexander Pope

Soft is the strain when zephyr gently blows,
And the smooth stream in smoother numbers flows;
But when loud surges lash the sounding shore,
The hoarse rough verse should like the torrent roar.
