Context

“O, spare my guiltless wife and my poor children!— Keeper, I prithee sit by me awhile; My soul is heavy, and I fain would sleep. BRAKENBURY I will, my lord; God give your grace good rest!— [CLARENCE reposes himself on a chair.] Sorrow breaks seasons and reposing hours,
Makes the night morning and the noontide night. Princes have but their titles for their glories, An outward honour for an inward toil; And, for unfelt imaginations, They often feel a world of restless cares:” source
