Of Morpheus.
Morpheus the liuelie sonne of deadly sleepe,VVitnes of life to them that liuing die,A prophet oft, and oft an historie;A Poet eke, as humors flie or creepe.
S. Phil. Sid.
Hee making speedy way through persed ayre,And through the world of waters wide and deepe,To Morpheus house doth hastily repaire,Amid the bowels of the earth full steepe,And lowe where dawning day doth neuer peepeHis dwelling is; there Thetis her wet bedDoth euer wash, and Cynthia still doth steepeIn siluer dew her euer-dropping head,vvhile sad night ouer him her mantle black doth spreadEdm. Spencer.
VVhose double gates he findeth locked fast,The one faire fram'd of burnish'd Iuorie,The other, all with siluer ouer-cast,And wakefull dogs before them fa••re doe lie.
descriptionPage 371
Watching to banish Care, theyr enemie,vvho oft is wont to trouble gentle Sleepe.Idem.
