 | The Scourge of Folly |  |
Epig. 225. Of Dormus.
Ovr time is short: yet Sleepe (Deaths neere Alye,Like a false Balise, or a Publican)
Doth for it selfe take vp the moyetie:
So, man it feeds, that it may feede on man:
But Dormus still doth sleepe, or dreaming go,
To make Sleepe on his Time to surfet so.
