A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the arms to rest,

再睡片时，打盹片时，抱着手躺卧片时，

再睡片时，打盹片时，抱着双臂躺卧片时，

再睡片时，打盹片时，抱着双臂躺卧片时，

再睡一会儿，再打个盹儿，抱着手躺一会儿，

再睡片时，打盹片时，抱着手躺卧片时，

再睡一会儿，再打盹一会儿，再抱着双手躺一会儿，

再睡片時，打盹片時，抱着手躺臥片時，

再睡片時，打盹片時，抱着雙臂躺臥片時，

再睡片時，打盹片時，抱着雙臂躺臥片時，

再睡一會兒，再打個盹兒，抱著手躺一會兒，

再睡片時，打盹片時，抱著手躺臥片時，

只管且睡片時，且打盹片時，且抱着手躺着片時，

再睡一會兒，再打盹一會兒，再抱著雙手躺一會兒，

再寢片時、又睡片時、叉手偃臥片時、

爾束手而寢、言欲少寐、俄傾即起、

爾若且睡片時、再寢片時、又叉手偃臥片時、

A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest—

You might sleep a little or take a little nap. You might even fold your hands and rest.

A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest,

A little extra sleep, a little more slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest—

A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the arms to rest,

“ A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to rest,”

A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep—

Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep:

[ Yet] a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:

A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to relax,

A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep:

Go to the ant, you slacker! Observe its ways and become wise.

Your eyes will see strange things, and you will say absurd things.You’ll be like someone sleeping out at sea or lying down on the top of a ship’s mast.

a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the arms to rest,and your poverty will come like a robber, your need, like a bandit.
