HIS ORIGINAL LYRICS, COMPLETE, IN THEIR COLLATED READINGS OF 1647, 1651, 1657 By: THOMAS STANLEY
That I might ever dream thus! that some power
To my eternal sleep would join this hour!
So, willingly deceiv'd, I might possess
In seeming joys a real happiness.
Haste not away: O do not dissipate 5 A pleasure thou so lately didst create!
Stay, welcome Sleep; be ever here confin'd:
Or if thou wilt away, leave her behind.
