    Our Offices, and what we haue to doe,
    To the direction iust.
    1. Then stand with vs:
    The West yet glimmers with some streakes of Day.

    The rest, that are within the note of expectation,
    Alreadie are i'th'Court.

    1235So all men doe, from hence toth'Pallace Gate
    Make it their Walke.

    3. Who did strike out the Light?
    1. Was't not the way?
    3. There's but one downe: the Sonne is fled.
    2. We haue lost
    1250Best halfe of our Affaire.
