steepy
“night—Hath travell'd on to age's,”
SONNETS, lxiii. 5.
“So in the 7th Sonnet, 1-6,
‘Lo, in the orient, when the gracious light
Lifts up his burning head—
...
And having climb'd the steep-up heavenly hill,
Resembling strong youth in his middle age.’
These lines fully explain what the poet meant by the steepy night of age” (MALONE) .
