Somnolente,
Quaso repente,
Vigila, vive, me tange.
Somnolente, quaso, &c.
–
Cum me ambiebas,
Videri volebas,
Amoris negotiis aptus;
Sed factus maritus,
Es semisopitus,
Et semper à somnio captus.
–
O sleepy body,
And drowsy body,
O wiltuna waken and turn thee:
To drivel and drant,
While I sigh and gaunt,
Gives me good reason to scorn thee.
–
When thou shouldst be kind,
Thou turns sleepy and blind,
And snoters and snores far frae me.
Wae light on thy face,
Thy drowsy embrace
Is enough to gar me betray thee.
– Old Songs with Additions.
