First the reading and translation of the woodblock print text,
寝る事も程ふ過さね
戒も少なしなむ中乃其一つぞや
Neru koto mo hodofu sugosane
Imashime mo sukunashinamu naka no sono hitotsu zo ya
Sleeping is also a form of passtime
At least I am not pestered, it is not even incidental

Judging from the general style and from the
style of the kana characters I think it is from
the mid 19.c. and not older.

With regards,
I.Nagy
