IN THE DARKE NONE DAINTY, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Night hides our thefts; all faults then paydon'd be
Last Line: The chosen rubie, and the reprobate.
Subject(s): Night; Bedtime


Night hides our thefts; all faults then pardon'd be:
All are alike faire, when no spots we see.
Lais and Lucrece, in the night time are
Pleasing alike; alike both singular:
Jone, and my Lady have at that time one,
One and the selfe-same priz'd complexion.
Then please alike the Pewter and the Plate;
The chosen Rubie, and the Reprobate.
