Now stand you on the top of happy hours,
And many maiden gardens yet unset,
With virtuous wish would bear you living flowers,

Can make you live your self in eyes of men.

And dizzy 'tis to cast one's eyes so low!

Show scarce so gross as beetles; half-way down

The fishermen that walk upon the beach
Appear like mice.

William Shakespeare
Sleep dwell upon thine eyes, peace in thy breast!
Would I were sleep and peace, so sweet to rest.
