:17:04
How many of my poorest
subjects are at this hour asleep?
:17:11
O, gentle sleep, Nature's
soft nurse...
:17:17
...how I have frighted thee,
that thou no more wilt weigh...
:17:21
...my eyelids down, and steep
my senses in forgetfulness?
:17:26
Why, rather, sleep, liest
thou in smoky cribs, upon'...
:17:30
...uneasy pallets stretching thee,
and hush'd with buzzing night...
:17:34
...flies to thy slumber,
than in the perfum'd chambers...
:17:38
...of the great, under canopies
of costly state, and lull'd with...
:17:42
...sounds of sweetest melody?
:17:46
O, thou dull god, why liest
thou with the vile...
:17:50
...in loathsome beds, and leav'st
the kingly couch a watch-case...
:17:54
...or a common larum bell?
:17:58
Wilt thou upon the high mast
seal up the ship-boy's eyes...
:18:03
...and rock his brains in cradle
of the rure imperious surge...
:18:07
...and in the visitation of the
winds, who take the billows...
:18:12
...by the top, hanging them with
deafening clamour in the...
:18:15
...slippery shrouds, that with
the hurly, death itself awakes?
:18:21
Canst thou, o partial sleep...
:18:25
...give thy repose to the wet...
:18:28
...sea-boy in an hour so rude...
:18:31
...and in the calmest and
stillest night...
:18:35
...with all appliances and
means to boot...
:18:39
...deny it to a king?
:18:42
Then, happy low.
:18:47
Lie down...
:18:49
...uneasy lies the head
that wears a crown.
:18:56
Before God, I am
exceeding weary.
