    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.

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.
