Verses made in Bed to one studying in the same Chamber.
Get thee to bed, I say, that gowne and knackes
Present thee Priam shrunke to Astyanax,
Three guilded Caps a poreing sure I view
Some Munmouth'd youth that lies and stinkes perdue.
All thou read'st there is Watch-word sure, and then
Stead of a sword lies drawne a Valiant Pen.
Present thee Priam shrunke to Astyanax,
60
Some Munmouth'd youth that lies and stinkes perdue.
All thou read'st there is Watch-word sure, and then
Stead of a sword lies drawne a Valiant Pen.
So the well furt'd Sire that gives the Midnight knell,
And see thy Tinckling standish for a Bell.
Looke now thou yawn'st too: afore Jove I shall
Heare thee anon snore out, Good People all.
But to be serious, preethy to bed, goe rest,
Young man thou canst not famish at a Feast.
Phœbus thou know'st the God of Wit is sed
To study but the Day, and then to Bed.
I love thy brave attempt, but pray forsake,
The flow'r thus deckt with honey shrouds a snake.
And see thy Tinckling standish for a Bell.
Looke now thou yawn'st too: afore Jove I shall
Heare thee anon snore out, Good People all.
But to be serious, preethy to bed, goe rest,
Young man thou canst not famish at a Feast.
Phœbus thou know'st the God of Wit is sed
To study but the Day, and then to Bed.
I love thy brave attempt, but pray forsake,
The flow'r thus deckt with honey shrouds a snake.
Where am I freind? I dreamt I told thee right,
But thou hast allmost wakt me, James Good night.
But thou hast allmost wakt me, James Good night.
