Let not the sluggish sleepe
Let not the sluggish sleepe<br>
close up thy waking eye,
close up thy waking eye,<br>
Untill with judgement deepe
Untill with judgement deepe<br>
thy daily deedes thou try.
thy daily deedes thou try.<br>
Hee that one sinne in conscience keepes
Hee that one sinne in conscience keepes<br>
when he to quiet goes,
when he to quiet goes,<br>
More ventrous is then he that sleepes,
More ventrous is then he that sleepes,<br>
With twentie mortall foes.
With twentie mortall foes.<br>

Let not the sluggish sleepe
close up thy waking eye,
Untill with judgement deepe
thy daily deedes thou try.
Hee that one sinne in conscience keepes
when he to quiet goes,
More ventrous is then he that sleepes,
With twentie mortall foes.
