But you, you idle noisy thing, you do not deserve to sleep.
You have done nothing to tire you.

And you are empty, dry and thirsty.
Serves you right!" Of course you recognize the allusion to the story of Tithonus, so beautifully told by Tennyson.

Tithonus was supposed to complain because he was obliged to live although he wanted to die.

That young girl does not want to die at all.
