    The moon has set
    In a bank of jet
    That fringes the Western sky,
    The pleiads seven
    Have sunk from heaven
    And the midnight hurries by;
    My hopes are flown
    And, alas! alone
    On my weary couch I lie.

I have of late--but wherefore I know not--lost all my mirth,
forgone all custom of exercises; and indeed, it goes so heavily
with my disposition that this goodly frame the earth seems to me
a sterile promontory; this most excellent canopy, the air, look
you, this brave o'erhanging firmament, this majestical roof
fretted with golden fire--why, it appeareth nothing to me but a
foul and pestilent congregation of vapors.
