Two kings of England cannot reign at once.

But stay awhile: let me be king till night,

That I may gaze upon this glittering crown;

So shall my eyes receive their last content,

My head the latest honor due to it,

And jointly both yield up their wishèd right.

Continue ever, thou celestial sun;

Let never silent night possess this clime;

Stand still, you watches of the element;

All times and seasons, rest you at a stay—
