Sleep flies the Wretch: or when with Cares opprest,
His oft turn'd Limbs are weary'd into Rest,
Then Dreams invade, the injur'd Gods appear,
All arm'd with Thunder, and awake his Fear.
Such Wretches start at ev'ry Flash that flies,
Grow pale at the first Murmur of the Skies,
E'er Clouds are form'd, and Thunder roars, afraid.—

Id. Ibid.
