Comfortless

I will nott leave you comfoꝛtleſſe: I will come vnto you.

[W]e beſche thee, leaue vs not comfortles, but ſende to vs thine holy ghoſt to comfort vs, and exalte vs vnto thy ſame place, whither our ſauiour Chriſte is gone before: […]

O my ſvveet ſir, nevves fitting to the night, / Blacke, fearefull, comfortleſſe, and horrible.

The Queene is comfortleſſe, and wee forgetfull / In our long abſence: pray doe not deliuer, / What heere y'haue heard to her.

The hope I dreamed of was a dream, / Was but a dream; and now I wake / Exceeding comfortless, and worn, and old, / For a dream's sake.

Alas poore hart, that kiſſe is comfortleſſe, / As frozen vvater to a ſtarued ſnake.

I did not dare return to the apartment which I inhabited, but felt impelled to hurry on, although wetted by the rain, which poured from a black and comfortless sky.
