EPIGRAPH: But, when the days of golden dreams had perished,
And even Despair was powerless to destroy;
Then did I learn how existence could be cherished,
Strengthened, and fed without the aid of joy.

Such thoughts were tyrants over me!

Through the long nights of angry weather,
Raised on my pillow, to descry
The dim moon struggling in the sky.

EPIGRAPH: Grief fills up the room of my absent child,
Lies in his bed, walks up and down with me,
Puts on his pretty looks, repeats his words,
Remembers me of all his gracious parts,
Stuffs out his vacant garments with his form.
Then have I reason to be fond of grief.
Fare you well. Had you such a loss as I,
I could give better comfort than you do.
FROM: King John, (1623), Play, UK
