How oft of dormouse, badger, or of bear,

  The heavy slumber would she fain partake!

  For she that time in sleep would waste and wear;

  Nor such prolonged repose desired to break;

  Nor wished the damsel any sound to hear,

  Until Rogero's voice should her awake:

  But not alone is this beyond her power;

  She cannot close her eyes one single hour.
