[Footnote 11:

"They wer' amid the shadows by night in loneliness obscure

Walking forth i' the void and vasty dominyon of Ades;

As by an uncertain moonray secretly illumin'd

One goeth in the forest, when heav'n is gloomily clouded,

And black night hath robb'd the colours and beauty from all things."

--ROBERT BRIDGES.
