  1. Or think himself in lazy slumbers blest?
  2. Fool-is not sleep the image of pale death?
  3. There's time for rest when fate has stopp'd your breath.
  4. Me may my soft deluding dear deceive,
  5. I'm happy in my hopes, while I believe:
  6. Now let her flatter, then as fondly chide,
  7. Often may I enjoy, oft be denied.
  8. With doubtful steps the god of war does move,
  9. By thy example, in ambiguous love.
