At about the mid-hour of the night Long-Hair gently awoke his prisoner by drawing a hand across his face, then whispered in his ear: "Damn, still!" Beverley tried to rise, uttering a sleepy ejaculation under his breath. "No talk," hissed Long-Hair. "Still!"
But it would all pass away, even the place, even Rome herself, and in the sphere of divine joy the sleeper would forget even to dream, and would be quite at rest, until the mid-hour of day, when a companion would come softly to the door and wake her with gentle words and kindly touch, to join the other Vestals at the thrice-purified table in the cool hall.
Otherwise he may himself be the first to fall a fate he does not wish to contemplate. But there can be no danger, he fancies as he rides forward. It is now the mid-hour of night, a little later, and the party to be surprised will be in their beds. If all goes well he may seize them asleep. So far everything seems favourable.
"Near the mid-hour of the night the rush of a horse's feet was heard, and the sound of a rider leaping from its back, and a heavy knock came to the door, accompanied by a voice, saying, 'The cummer drink's hot, and the knave bairn is expected at Laird Laurie's to-night; sae mount, good-wife, and come.
First of all, then, let us gaze upon the light in Him, until we become 'light in the Lord. And then let us see to it that, by girt loins and continual reception of the illuminating principle of the Divine Spirit's oil, we fill our lamps with 'deeds of odorous light, and hopes that breed not shame. Then, 'When the Bridegroom, with his feastful friends, Passes to bliss on the mid-hour of night,
Wisely hast shunned the broad way and the green, And with those few art eminently seen That labour up the hill of heavenly truth, his assurance to her will be applicable to thee, and Thou, when the Bridegroom, with His feastful friends, Passes to bliss at the mid-hour of night, Hast gained thy entrance. IV. That leads me to the last point viz. the contrasted ends of these two paths.

A few lines later and we find one of the characters drawing a parallel between Tamerlane, otherwise William, and Divinity: "Ere the mid-hour of night, from tent to tent, Unweary'd, thro' the num'rous host he past, Viewing with careful eyes each several quarters; Whilst from his looks, as from Divinity, The soldiers took presage, and cry'd, Lead on, Great Alha, and our emperor, lead on, To victory, and everlasting fame."
Weel, as I was saying, I let on I wanted the wee saw, and went into the kitchen one end's errand. It happened about the mid-hour o' the day. The clock had stoppit, I observed, at three and a half minutes to the twelve." "Hi!" cried the Deacon, "it'th a pity auld Gourlay wathna alive thith day!" "Faith, ay," cried Wylie. "He would have sorted him; he would have trimmed the young ruffian!"
Then there will be no fear but that the lamp will hold out to burn, and no fear but that 'when the Bridegroom, with His feastful friends, passes to bliss, at the mid-hour of night, we shall gain our entrance. 'For the kingdom of heaven la as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. 15.
