❧ A good Exhortation to euery man what he should doo when he goeth to bed and when he riseth . To a new Northen tune . AT night lye down prepare to haue : thy sléep , thy death , thy bed , thy graue . A rise a wake think that thou hast : thy life but lent , thy breth a blast . Let not the sluggish sléep , close vp thy waking eye : Vntil with iudgement déep , thy dayly deeds thou trye . He which one sinne in conscience kéeps , when he to quiet goes : More ventrous is then he which sléepes , with twentie mortall foes . ●herfore at night call vnto minde , 〈…〉 the day hast spent : 〈…〉 if nought amis thou finde , if ought betime repent . And since thy bed a pattern is , of death and fatall ●earie : Bedward it shall not be amis , , thus to record in verie . The stretching armes , the yawning breath , that I to bedward vse : Are patterns of the panges of death , when life must me refuse . The nightly Bell which I heare sound , as I am laid in bed : Foreshowes the Bell which me to ground , shall ring when I am dead , My bed is like the graue so colde , and sleep which shuts myne eye , Resembleth death : Clothes which me folde , declare the moules so drye . The frisking fleas resemble wel , the wringling worme to me : Which with me in the graue shall dwel , where I no light shall sée . The waking Cock that early crowes , to weare the night away : Puts me in minde the trump that blowes before the later day . The splendent Sun whose golden ray , no eye can dure to sée : Declares how in that dreadful day , God shall appéer to me . The rising in the morn likewise , When sleepy night is past : Puts me in minde how I shall rise to iudgement at the last . I go to bed as to my graue , God knoweth when I shall wake : But Lord I trust thou wilt me saue , and me to mercy take . Thus wil I wake , thus wil I sléep , thus wil I hope to rise : Thus wil I neither waile nor wéep , but sing in godly wise . Repent , repent you sinners all , and call to God for grace : That he may graunt vnto vs all , in heauen a dwelling place . FINIS .
