Close thine eyes and sleep secure
Thy soul is safe, thy body sure;
He that guards thee, He thee keeps
Who never slumbers, never sleeps
A quiet conscience, in a quiet breast
Has only peace, has only rest:
The music and the mirth of kings
Are out of tune, unless she sings
Then close thine eyes in peace and rest secure
No sleep so sweet as thine, no rest so sure
Thy soul is safe, thy body sure;
He that guards thee, He thee keeps
Who never slumbers, never sleeps
A quiet conscience, in a quiet breast
Has only peace, has only rest:
The music and the mirth of kings
Are out of tune, unless she sings
Then close thine eyes in peace and rest secure
No sleep so sweet as thine, no rest so sure
