Sunset

The weary sun hath made a golden set,
And, by the bright track of his fiery car,
Gives token of a goodly day to-morrow.
Shakespeare.—King Richard III., Act V. Scene 3. (Richmond to Brandon and others.)

At one stride came the dark.
Coleridge.—The Ancient Mariner.

Those suns are set.
Cowper.—The Task, Book II. Line 252. (Referring to Chatham and Wolfe.)
