But sleep is sweet, and I would sleep, my son.

Oh Cain! behold your father’s words are said!

THE SONG OF LAMECH.

Hearken to me, ye mothers of my tent:

Ye wives of Lamech, hearken to my speech:

Adah, let Jubal hither lead his goats:

And Tubal Cain, O Zillah, hush the forge;

Naamah her wheel shall ply beside, and thou,

My Jubal, touch, before I speak, the string.
