Weary with toil, i haste me to my bed the dear repose for limbs with travel tired; but then begins a journey in my head to work my mind, when body's work's expir'd: for then my thoughts-from far where i abide- intend a zealous pilgrimage to thee, and keep my drooping eyelids open wide, looking on darkness which the blind do see: save that my soul's imaginary sight presents thy shadow to my sightless view, which, like a jewel hung in ghastly night, makes black night beauteous and her old face new. lo! thus, by day my limbs, by night my mind, for thee, and for myself no quiet find.

Weary With Toil, I Haste Me To

William Shakespeare
Weary with toil, i haste me to my bed the dear repose for limbs with travel tired; but then begins a journey in my head to work my mind, when body's work's expir'd: for then my thoughts-from far where i abide- intend a zealous pilgrimage to thee, and keep my drooping eyelids open wide, looking on darkness which the blind do see: save that my soul's imaginary sight presents thy shadow to my sightless view, which, like a jewel hung in ghastly night, makes black night beauteous and her old face new. lo! thus, by day my limbs, by night my mind, for thee, and for myself no quiet find.

More From William Shakespeare

Is it thy will, thy image should keep open my heavy eyelids to the weary night? dost thou desire my slumbers should be broken, while shadows like to thee do mock my sight? is it thy spirit that thou send'st from thee so far from home into my deeds to pry, to find out shames and idle hours in me, the scope and tenor of thy jealousy? o, no! thy love, though much, is not so great: it is my love that keeps mine eye awake: mine own true love that doth my rest defeat, to play the watchman ever for thy sake: for thee watch i, whilst thou dost wake elsewhere, from me far off, with others all too near.
Love Eye Home
God is alpha and omega in the great world: endeavor to make him so in the little world; make him thy evening epilogue and thy morning prologue; practice to make him thy last thought at night when thou sleepest, and thy first thought in the morning when thou awakest; so shall thy fancy be sanctified in the night, and thy understanding rectified in the day; so shall thy rest be peaceful, thy labors prosperous, thy life pious, and thy death glorious.
God Morning Night
Thy husband is thy lord, thy life, thy keeper, thy head, thy sovereign; one that cares for thee, and for thy maintenance commits his body to painful labour both by sea and land, to watch the night in storms, the day in cold, whilst thou liest warm at home, secure and safe; and craves no other tribute at thy hands but love, fair looks and true obedience; too little payment for so great a debt.

Ecclesiastes names thee almighty, the maccabees name thee creator, the epistle to the ephesians names thee liberty, baruch names thee immensity, the psalms name thee wisdom and truth, john names thee light, the book of kings names thee lord, exodus names thee providence, leviticus sanctity, esdras justice, creation names thee god, man names thee father; but solomon names thee compassion, which is the most beautiful of all thy names.
Beautiful God Kings
Lord! thou art with thy people still; they see thee in the night-watches, and their hearts burn within them as thou talkest with them by the way. and thou art near to those that have not known thee; open their eyes that they may see thee--see thee weeping over them, and saying, "ye will not come unto me that ye might have life"--see thee hanging on the cross and saying, "father, forgive them, for they know not what they do"--see thee as thou wilt come again in thy glory to judge them at the last. amen.
Art Prayer Father
Demean thyself more warily in thy study than in the street. if thy public actions have a hundred witnesses, thy private have a thousand. the multitude looks but upon thy actions; thy conscience looks into them: the multitude may chance to excuse thee, if not acquit thee; thy conscience will accuse thee, if not condemn thee.

She also considered very seriously what she would look like in a little cottage in the middle of the forest, dressed in a melancholy gray and holding communion only with the birds and trees; a life of retirement away from the vain world; a life into which no man came. it had its attractions, but she decided that gray did not suit her.
