On a Gentleman and his Wife visiting a Lady. He sleeping the while. Extempore. Spoke by Morpheus. Pardon, fair Nymph, I durst exert my Power, Invade your Rights in a facetious Hour; With gentle Slumbers seal those wondring Eyes, That might; unweary'd on such Beauties gaze: My Strength had fail'd had not your Forces joyn'd, And your own conquering Charms first struck him blind; Your softer Graces did his Soul intrance, Or I in vain should to the Sence advance. All the Mysterious One I did not seize, But spar'd that part which was most like to please; She whose diverting Tongue could entertain, With choice Collections from each Poet's Brain: But see my Fetters could not bind him long, He humbly sues for Pardon and a Song, From your soft Voice which turns the Soul to Ear, And drousie as I am, I'll stay to hear: If I with Nods should to the Tune keep time, It is at worst, but a complaisant Crime: Oh with what Joy! my Godhead I'd forsake, Might you for ever Sing, and I for ever Wake.
