WM. TOWNSEND AND SON, SURREY STREET.

Good night.

Close now thine eyes, and rest secure ;

Thy soul is safe enough; thy body sure;
He that loves thee, He that keeps

And guards thee, never slumbers, never sleeps.
The smiling Conscience in a sleeping breast
Has only peace, has only rest:

The music and the mirth of kings

Are all very discords, when she sings:

Then close thine eyes and rest secure;

No sleep so sweet as thine, no rest so sure.

Francis Quarles.-1620.
