So full of ugly sights, of ghastly dreams,

That, as I am a Christian faithful man,

I would not spend another such night,

Though ’twere to buy a world of happy days,

So full of dismal terror was the time!

Methought that I had broken from the tower,

And was embark’d to cross to Burgundy;

And, in my company, my brother Gloucester;

Who from my cabin tempted me to walk

Upon the hatches: thence we looked toward England,
