The body

Farewell! I go to sleep; but, when

The day star springs, I'll wake again.

The soul

Go, sleep in peace; and when thou liest

Unnumbered in thy dust, when all this frame

Is but one dram, and what thou now descriest

In sev'ral parts shall want a name,

Then may his peace be with thee, and each dust

Writ in his book, who ne'er betray'd man's trust!

The body

Amen! but hark, ere we two stray,

How many hours dost think till day?

The soul

Ah! go; thou'rt weak and sleepy. Heav'n

Is a plain watch, and without figures winds

All ages up; who drew this circle even

He fills it; days and hours are blinds.

Yet, this take with thee; the last gasp of time

Is thy first breath, and man's eternal Prime.
