Seek for thy noble father in the dust. William Shakespeare, Hamlet.Our eyes have lids, our ears still ope we keep. Davies.
The fields fair eyes saw her, and saw no more,
But shut their flow’ry lids for ever night,
And winter strew’d her way. Richard Crashaw.That eye dropp’d sense distinct and clear,
As any muse’s tongue could speak;
When from its lid a pearly tear
Ran trickling down her beauteous cheek. Matthew Prior.The rod of Hermes
To sleep could mortal eye-lids fix,
And drive departed souls to Styx:
That rod was just a type of Sid’s,
Which o’er a British senate’s lids
Could scatter opium full as well,
And drive as many souls to hell. Jonathan Swift.
