Sleep
John Fletcher

Come, sleep, and with thy sweet deceiving
Lock me in delight awhile;
Let some pleasing dream beguile
All my fancies, that from thence
I may feel an influence,
All my powers of care bereaving.

Tho’ but a shadow, but a sliding,
Let me know some little joy.
We, that suffer long annoy,
Are contented with a thought
Thro’ an idle fancy wrought:
O let my joys have some abiding.

Sono

Vem, sono, e com teu doce engano
Prende-me em delícia por um instante;
Deixa algum sonho fascinante
Iludir minha fantasia,
Para que eu sinta a magia
Que me rouba o peso do fardo.

Mesmo que sombra, mesmo que ilusão,
Dá-me ao menos um breve prazer.
Nós, que sofremos sem parar,
Nos contentamos com um vislumbre,
Um sonho vão que nos envolve:
Oh, que minha alegria não se apague!
