Quite to forget earth's turmoils, spites, and wrongs,

And lift a reverend eye and thought to heaven?

Sweet artless songster, thou my mind dost raise

To airs of spheres—yes, and to angels lays!

SLEEP.

Now while the Night her sable veil hath spread,

And silently her resty coach doth roll,

Rousing with her, from Thetis' azure bed,

Those starry nymphs which dance about the pole;

While Cynthia, in purest cypress clad.
