    How happy he whose toil
    Has o'er his languid pow'rless limbs diffus'd
    A pleasing lassitude; he not in vain
    Invokes the gentle Deity of dreams.
    His pow'rs the most voluptuously dissolve
    In soft repose; on him the balmy dews
    Of Sleep with double nutriment descend.

Silent as though they watched the sleeping Earth!

What means this heaviness that hangs upon me?
This lethargy that creeps through all my senses?

Sinks down to rest.

Sleeping near the withered nosegay which he pulled the day
