    The fairy queen
    Bids you awake, and pity them that weep.

    What the day doth forbid.
    Fear not the dogs that bark;
    Night will have all hid.”
    —Thomas Campion (1567–1620)

    Leave the body’s coloured pride
    Underneath the grass and clover,
    With the feet laid side by side.”
