Sleep, king of Gods, and men of mortal birth
Sovereign of all sustained by mother Earth
For your dominion is supreme alone
Over all extended, and by all things known
For your dominion is supreme alone
Over all extended, and by all things known
Its yours all bodies with benignant mind
In other bands than those of brass to bind
Tamer of cares, to weary toil repose
From whom sweet solace in affliction flows
Tamer of cares, to weary toil repose
From whom sweet solace in affliction flows
Your pleasing, gentle chains preserve the soul
And even the dreadful cares of death control
For death and Lethe with oblivious stream
Mankind your genuine brothers justly deem
For death and Lethe with oblivious stream
Mankind your genuine brothers justly deem
Sleep, king of Gods, and men of mortal birth
Sovereign of all sustained by mother Earth
With favouring aspect to my prayer incline
And save thy mystics in their works divine
With favouring aspect to my prayer incline
And save thy mystics in their works divine
