11Close thine eyes and sleep secure,Close now thine eyes and rest secure;
22Thy soul is safe, thy body sure;Thy soul is safe enough, thy body sure;
33He that guards thee, He that keeps, He that loves thee, He that keeps
44Never slumbers, never sleeps.And guards thee, never slumbers, never sleeps.
55A quiet conscience, in a quiet breastThe smiling conscience in a sleeping breast
66Has only peace, has only rest: Has only peace, has only rest;
77The music and the mirth of kings The music and the mirth of kings
88Are out of tune, unless she sings.Are all but very discords, when she sings;
99Then close thine eyes in peace and rest secure, Then close thine eyes and rest secure;
1010No sleep so sweet as thine, no rest so sure.No sleep so sweet as thine, no rest so sure.
