Lyrics: Samuel Daniel 16th century

Care-charmer Sleep, son of the sable Night,

Brother to Death in silent born

Relieve my languish, restore a magic light

With dark forgetting of my return

And let the day be

And time enough to mourn for

You and for me

The ship wreck of my

Ill-adventured fragile youth

On the Earth

Let waking eyes suffice to wail their scorn

Without the torment of the night’s untruth

Care-charming Sleep, Thou easer of all woes

Brother to Death thyself dispose

On this afflicted prince, fall like a cloud

In gentle showers, Let light go out

And let the day be

And time enough to mourn for

You and for me

The ship wreck of my

Ill-adventured fragile youth

On the Earth

Let waking eyes suffice to wail their scorn

Without the torment of the night's untruth
