Now I lie me down to sleep.

The 1850-ish Pinneo’s Grammar which I used for homeschooling my kids is athwart your and others’ contentions.

I lay down, lay an egg, and lie about it.
I lay down, laid an egg,and lied about it.
I have lain down, laid an egg, and lied about it.

Maybe a more modern adaptation of the language?
