To dark suspicion grown an easy tool;

No soft repose he finds, by night or day;

But rings his ear, he's wretched ev'ry way!

Continually he dreams his forehead sprouts;

The truth of reveries he never doubts.

But this I would not fully guaranty,

For he who dreams, 'tis said, asleep should be;

And those who've caught, from time to time, a peep,

Pretend to say—the jealous never sleep.

A MAN who has suspicions soon will rouse;
