ch fast,So every scope by the immoderate useTurns to restraint : our natures do pursue(Like rats that raven down their proper bane)A thirsty evil, and when we drink we die. Shakesp. Measure for Measure.

Light,And act my part in darkenefle of the night:But now my Light complaines that I decay.And into greafie teares doe melt away;So I am forft to yeeld. O turne thy teamePhcebus, and Phofpher mew thy morning beame. When Chrift the Sonne of righteoufnefle did goe Vnto his Heavenly manfions from below, Then he his holy fervants did command, Confpicuous to the world, like lights, to ftand ; But when they faile with watching, toile, and age, And now are ready to goe off the ftage, Then up they yeeld the light of life and cry; O come thou Sonne of righteoufneffe, we die.
