Of night, and all things now retired to rest,

Mind us of long repose, since God has set

Labour and rest, as day and night to men

Successive, and the timely dew of sleep,

Now falling with soft cumbrous weight, inclines

Our eyelids. Other creatures all day long

Rove idle unemployed, and less need rest:

Man hath his daily work of body or mind

Appointed, which declares his dignity,

And the regard of heaven on all his ways,
