Ev’n as he spake, he sank himself to rest.

She knew th’ Event, but knew not long; her sight,

Her Hearing fails; ’twas Dimness, and ’twas Night! 550

They sleep together, and our Record ends;

But first a Priest his Application lends.


Pains, Troubles, Sorrows, Life’s more grievous cares,

All from our ill, or for our Good arise;

For all correction thank the Hand that spares,

For all Affliction bless the Power that tries!
