I.
They know not least, who have most need, of rest,That last, kind refuge from o'erwhelming woes;
Thee I invoke then, Sleep, thou friend of those
By ill on ill, and wrong on wrong oppress'd,
The happiness that sometime I possess'd,
Though now bereft me by the craft of foes,
Return in pitying visions of repose,
And bid me for a time again be bless'd;
The while thou mak'st their waking conscience see
Crimes that the noise and glare of day can hide;
Yes, when that Judge impartial giveth thee
O'er his eternal balance to preside,
Repel th' o'erweenings of injurious pride,
And what thou tak'st from them restore to me.
