She sleeps!—so sleeps the wretch beside the stake:
She sleeps!—how dreadful from such sleep to wake!

She sleeps!—so sleeps the wretch beside the stake: She sleeps!—how dreadful from such sleep to wake!

She sleeps!—so sleeps the wretch beside the stake: She sleeps!—how dreadful from such sleep to wake!

She sleeps!—so sleeps the wretch beside the stake: She sleeps!—how dreadful from such sleep to wake!

She sleeps!—so sleeps the wretch beside the stake: She sleeps!—how dreadful from such sleep to wake!
