Care-charmer Sleep, son of the sable Night
Brother to Death, in silent darkness born
Relieve my languish, and restore the light
With dark forgetting of my cares, return
And let the day be time enough to mourn
The shipwreck of my ill-adventur'd youth
Let waking eyes suffice to wail their scorn
Without the torment of the night's untruth
Cease dreams, th' imagery of our day-desires
To model forth the passions of the morrow
Never let rising sun approve you liars
To add more grief to aggravate my sorrow
Still let me sleep, embracing clouds in vain
And never wake to feel the day's disdain
Care-charmer Sleep, son of the sable Night
Brother to Death, in silent darkness born
Relieve my languish, and restore the light
With dark forgetting of my cares, return
