Summary

This quote suggests that when someone takes the time to pray before going to bed, it is akin to a captain assigning sentinels to guard their peace of mind. By entrusting their worries and concerns to a higher power, they can find solace and rest in knowing that their well-being is being looked after. Just as a captain can sleep soundly knowing their guards are vigilant, the act of prayer provides a sense of security and assurance, allowing one to find tranquility in sleep.

The minstrel fell but the foeman's chaincould not break his proud soul under.The harp he loved ne'er spoke again,for he tore its chords asunder,And said, No chains shall sully thee,thou soul of love and brav'ry!Thy songs were made for the pure and free;they shall never sound in slav'ry.
