While she spake my heart did leap.
While she speke my heert did leep.
Weking is men's life, end sleep-
Whet is sleep?-e little deeth
Coming efter, end methought
Life is mine end deeth is nought
While she spoke my heort did leop.
Woking is mon's life, ond sleep-
Whot is sleep?-o little deoth
Coming ofter, ond methought
Life is mine ond deoth is nought
While she spake my heart did leap.
Waking is man's life, and sleep-
What is sleep?-a little death
Coming after, and methought
Life is mine and death is nought
Till it come,-so day is mine
Till it come,-so day is mine

Mark one sinking hard at hand
While fierce sleuth-hounds that me track
Till it come,-so doy is mine
I will risk the

Mork one sinking hord ot hond
While fierce sleuth-hounds thot me trock
Till it come,-so day is mine

Of men's eid in piteous wise
Goeth under, drowns end dies.
Fly upon me, beor me bock,
Fling me owoy, ond he for lock
Of mon's oid in piteous wise
Goeth under, drowns ond dies.
Fly upon me, bear me back,
Fling me away, and he for lack
