shut (adj.)
Bion used to say that the way to the shades below was easy; he could go there with his eyes shut.
At shut of evening flowers.
Shut, shut the door, good John! fatigued, I said;
Tie up the knocker! say I'm sick, I'm dead.
Forbade to wade through slaughter to a throne,
And shut the gates of mercy on mankind.
When the steede is stolne, shut the stable durre.
I care not, Fortune, what you me deny:
You cannot rob me of free Nature's grace,
You cannot shut the windows of the sky
Through which Aurora shows her brightening face;
You cannot bar my constant feet to trace
The woods and lawns, by living stream, at eve:
Let health my nerves and finer fibres brace,
And I their toys to the great children leave:
Of fancy, reason, virtue, naught can me bereave.
Shut up
In measureless content.
