In the Cretan’s phrase, with the golden crown, Aphrodite,

Girdles and breast bands, thou with dark eyelids
Bearing the golden bough of Argicida.”

Our gayness and our gilt are all besmirched
With rainy marching in the painful field.”

Environed me, and howled in mine ears
Such hideous cries that with the very noise
I trembling waked, and for a season after
Could not believe but that I was in hell,
Such terrible impression made my dream.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
