    Hurld headlong flaming from th’ Ethereal Skie
    With hideous ruine and combustion down
    To bottomless perdition, there to dwell
    In Adamantine Chains and penal Fire,
    Who durst defie th’ Omnipotent to Arms.
    Nine times the Space that measures Day and Night
    To mortal men, he with his horrid crew
    Lay vanquisht, rowling in the fiery Gulfe”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    Who lay in his bed till ‘twas noon, bright noon.”
    —Unknown. Broom, Green Broom (l. 1–4)
