RODERICK
("The Sleeper") The lady sleeps. oh, may her
which is so be deep!
Heaven hold her in its keep!
This chamber changed for one holy,
bed for one of melancholy.
I to God that she may lie
with unopened eye
while the dim, ghosts go by.
My love, she sleeps. Oh, may her
as it is so be deep!
may the worms around her creep!
Far in the forest, dim and old,
now may some tall enfold her;
some vault that oft flung its black
and panels fluttering back
triumphant o'er the palls
of her family funerals....

You may that I am mad, but it is not so.
