[Sluggard, out of thy sleep arise]

How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? &c. —vi. 9.

Sluggard, out of thy sleep arise,
While yet on earth, lift up thine eyes;
Awake, or thou shalt want ere long
A watery drop, to cool thy tongue;
Awake, or thou shalt shortly feel
The sleeper sleeps no more in hell.
