Henry IV, Part I
[III, 1]

Glendower

1763

She bids you on the wanton rushes lay you down
And rest your gentle head upon her lap,
And she will sing the song that pleaseth you
And on your eyelids crown the god of sleep.
Charming your blood with pleasing heaviness,
Making such difference 'twixt wake and sleep
As is the difference betwixt day and night
The hour before the heavenly-harness'd team
Begins his golden progress in the east.

Henry IV

How bloodily the sun begins to peer
Above yon busky hill! the day looks pale
At his distemperature.
