The moment comes-- It is already come--when thou must write The absolute total of thy life's vast sum.
The constellations stand victorious o'er thee, The planets shoot good fortune in fair junctions, And tell thee, “Now's the time.”
--SCHILLER'S WALLENSTEIN, BY COLERIDGE.
When Leicester returned to his lodging, after a day so important and so harassing, in which, after riding out more than one gale, and touching on more than one shoal, his bark had finally gained the harbour with banner displayed, he seemed to experience as much fatigue as a mariner after a perilous storm.
He spoke not a word while his chamberlain exchanged his rich court-mantle for a furred night-robe, and when this officer signified that Master Varney desired to speak with his lordship, he replied only by a sullen nod.
