Thus, their wretched lives at stake,

Quaking toil, and toiling quake,

All throughout the summer light,

Till the day gives way to night.

Puts the irksome task away,

Lays him down to sleep, and thus

Dream he dreameth marvellous,

Which, awak’ning from repose,

Straightway doth he then disclose:
