With so thick darkness have I drenched the air,

Lest when he wake, the sight and sweet desire

Of home supplant his cunning, and he rise

Forthwith, and entering suddenly his house

Fall by the treachery of the infatuate lords,

Who prey there on his substance unrestrained,

Sitting in idle suit to woo his wife,

Who weeps his fate unknown; and thus my will

At last were crossed. So hither am I come

Myself to break the sleep I sent, and warn him
