Care-charmer Sleep, son of the sable Night, <br />Brother to death, in silent darkness born, <br />Relieve my languish and restore the light, <br />With dark forgetting of my cares' return. <br />And let the day be time enough to mourn <br />The shipwrack of my ill-adventur'd youth; <br />Let waking eyes suffice to wail their scorn <br />Without the torment of the night's untruth. <br />Cease Dreams, th'imagery of our day desires, <br />To model forth the passions of the morrow; <br />Never let the rising Sun approve you liars, <br />To add more grief to aggravate my sorrow. <br />Still let me sleep, embracing clouds in vain, <br />And never wake to feel the day's disdain.<br /><br />Samuel Daniel<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-liv-care-charmer-sleep/
