His own opinion was his law: i'th' presence
He would say untruths, and be ever double
Both in his words and mean-

Deep night, dark night, the silent of the night…
The time when screech-owls cry and ban-dogs howl,
And spirits walk and ghosts break up their graves

When daisies pied and violets blue
And lady-smocks all silver-white
And cuckoo-buds of yellow hue
Do paint the meadows with delight
