{{Text|Italian|Il dolce sonno mi promise pace,
ma l’amaro veggiar mi torna in guerra:
il dolce sonno è ben stato fallace,
ma l’amaro veggiar, ohimè! non erra.
Se ’l vero annoia, e il falso sì mi piace,
non oda o vegga mai più vero in terra:
se ’l dormir mi dà gaudio, e il veggiar guai,
possa io dormir senza destarmi mai.}}

{{Translation|English|Sweet sleep with promised peace my soul did buoy,
But I to bitter warfare wake anew;
Sweet sleep but brought with it fallacious joy,
But — sure and bitter — waking ills ensue.
If falsehood so delight and truth annoy,
Never more may I see or hear what's true!
If sleeping brings me weal, and watching woe,
The pains of waking may I never know!}}
: ''by [[William Stewart Rose]] (1775-1843)''
