只管且睡片時，且打盹片時，且抱着手躺着片時，

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，

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:

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

[ 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:

懶惰人哪，去找螞蟻，看牠們所行的，來做有智慧的人。

你的眼必看見怪異的事；你的心必發出乖張的話；你必好像躺在海中心，好似臥在桅桿頂上；

『且睡片時，且打盹片時，且抱着手躺着片時』，你的貧窮就如攔路賊忽來，你的窮乏就像武裝匪來到了！
