"Where griesly Night, with visage deadly sad, That Phoebus chearefull face durst neuer vew, And in a foule blacke pitchy mantle clad, She findes forth comming from her darksome mew, Where she all day did hide her hated hew. Before the dore her yron charet stood, Already harnessed for iourney new; And coleblacke steedes yborne of hellish brood, That on their rusty bits did champ, as they were wood."

Where grisly Night, with visage deadly sad, That Phoebus' cheerful face dares never view, And in a foul black pitchy mantle clad, She finds forth coming from her darksome mew, Where she all day did hide her hated hue: Before the door her iron chariot stood, Already harnessed for journey new; And coal-black steeds yborn of hellish brood, That on their rusty bits did champ, as they were wood. — Bk. I, Canto V, stanza 20
