Read the poem and answer the question

I wonder how long, you awful parasite

Shall share me this little bed,

And make me, from sweet dreams be lost

By sucking blood from my poor head.

Blood, which you and your families do feed

on; for supper, dinner, and lunch,

And besides, you do in my bed breed.

When thou art sure, I cant you capture,

Just as the time I snore deep.

The bed clear of you would seem;

For not one you is in my sight

As if your presence was in a dream.
