## The words

Come, Sleep,  
and with thy sweet deceiving  
Lock me in delight a- while;  
Let some pleasing dream beguile all my  
fancies;  
that from thence I may feel an influence  
All my powers of care bereaving!  
Though but a shadow, but a sliding,  
Let me know some little joy!  
We that suffer long annoy Are contented with  
a thought Through an idle fancy wrought:  
O let my joys have some abiding!  
O let my joys have some abiding!
