might_n to_o see_v that_o joyful_a day_n haud_fw-la ictus_fw-la sapio_fw-la gascoygne_n good_a night_n when_o thou_o have_v spend_v the_o linger_a day_n in_o pleasure_n and_o delight_n or_o after_o toil_n and_o weary_a way_n do_v seek_v to_o rest_v at_o night_n unto_o thy_o pain_n or_o pleasure_n past_a add_v this_o one_o labour_n yet_o ere_o sleep_v close_o up_o thy_o eye_n to_o fast_o do_v not_o thy_o god_n forget_v but_o search_n within_o thy_o secret_a thought_n what_o deed_n do_v thou_o befall_v and_o if_o thou_o find_v amiss_o in_o aught_o to_o god_n for_o mercy_n call_v yea_o though_o thou_o find_v nothing_o amiss_o which_o thou_o can_v call_v to_o mind_n yet_o ever_o more_o remember_v this_o there_o be_v the_o more_o behind_o and_o think_v how_o well_o so_o ever_o it_o be_v that_o thou_o have_v spend_v the_o day_n it_o come_v of_o god_n and_o not_o of_o thou_o so_o to_o direct_v thy_o way_n thus_o if_o thou_o try_v thy_o daily_a deed_n and_o pleasure_n in_o this_o pain_n thy_o life_n shall_v cleanse_v thy_o corn_n from_o weed_n &_o thou_o shall_v be_v the_o gain_n but_o if_o thy_o sinful_a sluggish_a eye_n will_v venture_v for_o to_o wink_v before_o thy_o wade_v will_n may_v try_v how_o far_o thy_o soul_n may_v sink_v beware_v and_o wake_v for_o else_o thy_o bed_n which_o soft_a &_o smooth_a be_v make_v may_v heap_v more_o harm_n upon_o thy_o head_n than_o blow_v of_o enemy_n blade_n thus_o if_o this_o pain_n procure_v thine_o ease_n in_o bed_n as_o thou_o do_v lie_v perhaps_o it_o shall_v not_o god_n displease_v to_o sing_v thus_o sober_o i_o see_v that_o sleep_n be_v lend_v i_o here_o to_o ease_v my_o weary_a bone_n as_o death_n at_o last_o shall_v eke_v appear_v to_o ease_v my_o grievous_a groan_n my_o daily_a sport_n my_o paunch_n full_o feed_v have_v cause_v my_o drowsy_a eye_n as_o careless_a life_n in_o quiet_a lead_v may_v cause_v my_o soul_n to_o die_v the_o stretch_a arm_n the_o yawn_v breath_n which_o i_o to_o bedward_o use_v be_v pattern_n of_o the_o pang_n of_o death_n when_o life_n will_v i_o refuse_v and_o of_o my_o bed_n each_o sundry_a part_n in_o shadow_n do_v resemble_v the_o sundry_a shape_n of_o death_n who_o dart_n shall_v make_v my_o flesh_n to_o tremble_v my_o bed_n itself_o be_v like_o the_o grave_n my_o sheet_n the_o wind_a sheet_n my_o clothes_n the_o mould_n which_o i_o must_v have_v to_o cover_v i_o most_o meet_a the_o hungry_a flea_n which_o frisk_n so_o fresh_a to_o worm_n i_o can_v compare_v which_o greedy_o shall_v gnaw_v my_o flesh_n &_o leave_v the_o bone_n full_o bare_a the_o wake_a cock_n that_o early_a crow_n to_o wear_v the_o night_n away_o put_v in_o my_o mind_n the_o trump_n that_o blow_v before_o the_o latter_a day_n and_o as_o i_o rise_v up_o lusty_o when_o sluggish_a sleep_n be_v past_a so_o hope_v i_o to_o rise_v joyful_o to_o judgement_n at_o the_o last_o thus_o will_v i_o wake_v thus_o will_v i_o sleep_v thus_o will_v i_o hope_v to_o rise_v thus_o will_v i_o neither_o wail_v nor_o weep_v but_o sing_v in_o godly_a wise_n my_o bone_n shall_v in_o this_o bed_n remain_v my_o soul_n in_o god_n shall_v trust_v by_o who_o i_o hope_v to_o rise_v
