Sleep [Hypnos], king of Gods, and men of mortal birth, sov'reign of all sustain'd by mother Earth; / For thy dominion is supreme alone, o'er all extended, and by all things known / 'Tis thine all bodies with benignant mind in other bands than those of brass to bind: / Tamer of cares, to weary toil repose, from whom sweet solace in affliction flows...
Orphic Hymn to Hypnos, 84
