Surrey, On the Death of Sir T. Wyatt.
Night is the sabbath of mankind,
To rest the body and the mind:
Which now thou art denied to keep,
And cure thy laboured corpse with sleep.
Butler, Hudibras, iii. 1. 1349.
Women and maids shall particularly examine themselves about the variety of their apparell, their too much care of their corps.—Richeome’s Pilgrim of Loretto, by G. W.
Your conjuring, cozening, and your dozen of trades
Could not relieve your corps with so much linen
Would make you tinder, but to see a fire.
