The text of the second choral, again for unaccompanied chorus, is taken from an anonymous poem; the second verse was again furnished by the composer's wife: :No sad thought his soul affright, :Sleep it is that maketh night; :Let no murmur nor rude wind :To his slumbers prove unkind: :But a quire of angels make :His dreams of heaven, and let him wake :To as many joys as can :In this world befall a man. :Promise fills the sky with light, :Stars and angels dance in flight; :Joy of heaven shall now unbind :Chains of evil from mankind, :Love and joy their power shall break, :And for a new born prince’s sake; :Never since the world began :Such a light such dark did span.

Rabelais also relates that he drew the more optimistic Aeneid 6, 857,"He, when his country, threaten'd with alarms, / Requires his courage and his conqu'ring arms, / Shall more than once the Punic bands affright; / Shall kill the Gaulish king in single fight;" which he took to mean himself. Viscount Falkland once went to a public library in Oxford with King Charles I and, being shown a finely printed and bound copy of the Aeneid, suggested to the King that he use the Sortes Virgilanae to tell his future. The King opened the book but happened on Dido's prayer against Aeneas in Book 4.615,Nor let him then enjoy supreme command; / But fall, untimely, by some hostile hand at which he was troubled. Nevertheless, Falkland took his own lots, hoping to pick a passage that did not relate to him and thus stop the King from worrying about his own.
