| Grateful is Sleep my life in stone bound fast | B |
| More grateful still while wrong and shame shall last | B |
| On me can Time no happier state bestow | C |
| Than to be left unconscious of the woe | C |
| Ah then lest you awaken me speak low | C |
| Grateful is Sleep more grateful still to be | D |
| Of marble for while shameless wrong and woe | C |
| Prevail 'tis best to neither hear nor see | D |
| Then wake me not I pray you Hush speak low | C |
| Come gentle Sleep Death's image tho' thou art | E |
| Come share my couch nor speedily depart | E |
| How sweet thus living without life to lie | F |
| Thus without death how sweet it is to die | F |
