Rest
 
  At rest, as the ark in the temple.
            —Francis Bacon		  1
  Rested on him as lightly as freckles on his nose.
            —Alice Caldwell Hegan		  2
                Rest,
Like beauty nestling in a young man’s breast.
            —Charles Lamb		  3
Rested in strange wise,
As when some creature utterly outworn
Sinks into bed and lies.
            —Dante Gabriel Rossetti		  4
