Howe'er I rest, great God, let me Awake again at last with thee. And thus assur'd, behold I lie Securely, or to wake or die. These are my drowsy days ; in vain I do now wake to sleep...

Sleep is a death, O make me try, By sleeping, what it is to die; And as gently lay my head, On my grave, as now my bed.
