Read the poem and answer the question

Sleep, O sleep
With thy Rod of Incantation
Charm my Imagination,
Then, only then, I cease to weep

By thy power,
The virgin, by Time O' ertaken,
For Years forlorn, forsaken,
Enjoys the happy Hour.

What's to sleep?
'Tis a visionary Blessing;
A dream that's past expressing;
Our utmost Wish possessing;
So may I always keep.

If thou hast any sound, or use of voice, 

Speak to me:

If there be any good thing to be done, 

That may to thee do ease and grace to me:

If thou art privy to the country's fate, 

Which happily foreknowing may avoid,

O, speak!

Or if thou hast uphoarded in thy life,

Extorted treasure in the womb of the earth,

For which, they say, you spirits oft walk in death,

Speak of ur:

(Act 1; Scene 1, Lines 128-139)
