THE SLUGGARD.

1 ’TIS the voice of the sluggard ; I heard him com-
plain,
“You have waked me too soon, I must slumber
again.”
As the door on its hinges, so he on his bed,
Turns ae sides, and his shoulders, and his heavy
ead.

2A little more sleep, and a little more slumber ;”
Thus he wastes half his days, and his hours with-
out number :
And when he gcts up he sits folding his hands,
Or walks about saunt’ring, or trifling he stands.
