Proverbs 6:9: Sluggard, out of thy sleep arise
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Sluggard, out of thy sleep arise,
While yet on earth, lift up thine eyes;
Awake, or thou shalt want ere long
A watery drop, to cool thy tongue;
Awake, or thou shalt shortly feel
The sleeper sleeps no more in hell.
