ὙΠΝΟΣ

Not now for sleep, O slumber-god! we sue;

Hypnus! not sleep, but give our souls repose!

Of the day's music such a mellowing close

As might have rested Shakespeare from his art,

Or soothed the spirit of the Tuscan strong

Who best read life, its passions and its woes,

And wrought of sorrow earth's divinest song.
