"Honour and Glory wait on thee each morn! * Thine enviers' noses in the dust be set! Ne'er cease thy days to be as white as snow; * Thy foeman's days to be as black as jet!"

But see, here come the brethren that be to sing Nones sinner that I am, to have said no Hours since the morn, being letted with lawful business." Again the unwilling Stephen had to submit.
The sky still preserved, however, the pale neutral tints of night in the west, and up to the zenith, where it merged into a faint and beautiful seagreen that lost itself imperceptibly in the warm colouring of the orient, which each moment became more and more intense in hue, heralding the approach of morn.
