VVith that a sudden darknesse fill'd the Hall:
The light was banisht, and the windowes all
So neerely clos'd their eye lids, round about
That day could not get in; nor darknesse, out;
Thus while the death resembling shades of night
Had drawne their misty Curtaines twixt the light
And euery darkned eye, which was denide
To see, but that, which darkenesse could not hide;
The iealous God, fearing he knowes not whom
(Indeed, whom feares he not?) enters the roome,
And, with his clubfoot, groping in the shade
Of night, he mutter'd forth these words and said.
