midnight
These resolutions were put to desperate trial that very night . Just next to Stanton 's apartment were lodged two most uncongenial neighbors . One of them was a puritanical weaver , who had been driven mad by a single sermon from the celebrated Hugh Peters , and was sent to the madhouse as full of election and reprobation as he could hold , -- and fuller . He regularly repeated over the five points while daylight lasted , and imagined himself preaching in a conventicle with distinguished success ; toward twilight his visions were more gloomy , and at midnight his blasphemies became horrible . In the opposite cell was lodged a loyalist tailor , who had been ruined by giving credit to the cavaliers and their ladies , -- -LRB- for at this time , and much later , down to the reign of Anne , tailors were employed by females even to make and fit on their stays -RRB- , -- who had run mad with drink and loyalty on the burning of the Rump , and ever since had made the cells of the madhouse echo with fragments of the ill-fated Colonel Lovelace 's song , scraps from Cowley 's `` Cutter of Coleman street , '' and some curious specimens from Mrs. Aphra Behn 's plays , where the cavaliers are denominated the heroicks , and Lady Lambert and Lady Desborough represented as going to meeting , their large Bibles carried before them by their pages , and falling in love with two banished cavaliers by the way . The voice in which he shrieked out such words was powerfully horrible , but it was like the moan of an infant compared to the voice which took up and reechoed the cry , in a tone that made the building shake . It was the voice of a maniac , who had lost her husband , children , subsistence , and finally her reason , in the dreadful fire of London .
