Henry Vaughan - The Evening-Watch [A Dialogue]
Work rating: Low

BODY 
         Farewell! I go to sleep; but when
         The day-star springs, I`ll wake again. 
SOUL 
         Go, sleep in peace; and when thou liest
     Unnumber`d in thy dust, when all this frame
     Is but one dram, and what thou now descriest
         In sev`ral parts shall want a name,
     Then may his peace be with thee, and each dust
     Writ in his book, who ne`er betray`d man`s trust! 

BODY 
         Amen! but hark, ere we two stray
       How many hours dost think `till day? 

SOUL 
       Ah go; th`art weak, and sleepy. Heav`n
   Is a plain watch, and without figures winds
   All ages up; who drew this circle, even
       He fills it; days and hours are blinds.
   Yet this take with thee. The last gasp of time
   Is thy first breath, and man`s eternal prime.
