Now


Now is the winter of our discontent Made glorious summer by this sun of York; And all the clouds that lower’d upon our house In the deep bosom of the ocean buried. Shakespeare.—Richard III., Act I. Scene 1. (Gloster on his own deformities.)	1
All thoughts of her are in your goodness buried. Massinger.—Duke of Florence, Act V. Scene 3.	2
Now stir the fire, and close the shutters fast, Let fall the curtains, wheel the sofa round, And while the bubbling and loud-hissing urn Throws up a steamy column, and the cups, That cheer but not inebriate, wait on each, So let us welcome peaceful evening in. Cowper.—The Task, Book IV. Line 36.	3
Now up, now down, as bucket in a well. Chaucer.—Vol. I., The Knight’s Tale, Line 1535.	4
Behold, now is the accepted time, now is the day of salvation. St. Paul, 2nd Corinthians, Chap. vi. Ver. 2.	5
