The Holy Grail From noiseful arms, and acts of prowess done In tournament or tilt, Sir Percivale, Whom Arthur and his knighthood called The Pure, Had passed into the silent life of prayer, Praise, fast, and alms; and leaving for the cowl The helmet in an abbey far away From Camelot, there, and not long after, died.

There are, however, in this part some passages that deserve attention; as in the beginning: The diligence of trades and noiseful gain, And luxury, more late, asleep were laid; All was the night's, and in her silent reign No sound the rest of nature did invade In this deep quiet---- The expression, "all was the night's," is taken from Seneca, who remarks on Virgil's line, Omnia noctis erant, placida composta quiete, that he might have concluded better, Omnia noctis erant.

Even the noise of carriages returning from revels and festive scenes of various kinds, was no longer heard-- "The diligence of trades and noiseful gain, And luxury more late, asleep were laid: All was the night's:" All! save the inhabitants of one mansion, situated in Kildare street, who were still invading nature's rest.
