 Sleep, Wayward Thoughts lyrics
 Sleep, wayward thoughts, and rest you with my love:
 Let not my Love be with my love diseas'd.
 Touch not, proud hands, lest you her anger move,
 But pine you with my longings long displeas'd.
 Thus, while she sleeps, I sorrow for her sake:
 So sleeps my Love, and yet my love doth wake.
 
 But, O the fury of my restless fear !
 The hidden anguish of my flesh desires !
 The glories and the beauties that appear,
 Between her brows, near Cupid's closed fires,
 Thus while she sleeps, moves sighing for her sake:
 So sleeps my Love, and yet my love doth wake.
 
 My love doth rage, and yet my Love doth rest:
 Fear in my love, and yet my Love secure:
 Peace in my Love, and yet my love oppress'd:
 Impatient, yet of perfect temperature.
 Sleep, dainty Love, while I sigh for thy sake:
 So sleeps my Love, and yet my love doth wake.
