Epig. 140. Of Sleepe .
If Sleepe be Death, then Death than SleepeCan be esteem'd nought els;
The more thou Sleep'st then, lesse thou Liu'st,
This, playne Experience tels,
And is our Death but like a Sleepe?
When Men haue Slept, they Wake;
Then Courage Christian, Feare, ô Wretch;
Thee Heauen, thee Hell shall take.
