Sacharissa; some account of Dorothy Sidney, countess of Sunderland, her family and friends, 1617-1684 . in time to takepart in the fight at Newbury. That night the two armies layin the fields under a bright starlit sky, impatient, writesan officer in the Parliamentary camp, of sloth and darkness, wishing for the morning light to exercise their valour, incap-able of sleep, their enemy being so nigh.
