| C.N. Douglas, comp. Forty Thousand Quotations: Prose and Poetical. 1917. | | | | Good Night |
| | | | Good night! good night! parting is such sweet sorrow, |
| That I shall say good night, till it be morrow. |
Shakespeare. | 1 |
| | To all, to each, a fair good night, |
| And pleasing dreams, and slumbers light. |
Scott. | 2 |
| | At once, good night |
| Stand not upon the order of your going, |
| But go at once. |
Shakespeare. | 3 |
| | Look, the worlds comforter, with weary gait, |
| His days hot task hath ended in the west: |
| The owl, nights herald, shriekstis very late; |
| The sheep are gone to fold, birds to their nest; |
| And coal-black clouds, that shadow heavens light, |
| Do summon us to part, and bid good night. |
Shakespeare. | 4 | | |
