Fools climb to fall: fond hopes, like seeled doves
for want of better light, mount till they end their
flight with falling. --J. Reading.
2. Hence, to shut or close, as the eyes; to blind.
Come, seeling night, Scarf up the tender eye of
pitiful day. --Shak.
Cold death, with a violent fate, his sable eyes did
seel. --Chapman.
