Samuel Daniel - Sonnet XLV: Care-charmer
Work rating: Low

XLV
     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.
