| FLY hence, shadows, that do keep | |
| Watchful sorrows charm’d in sleep! | |
| Tho’ the eyes be overtaken, | |
| Yet the heart doth ever waken | |
| Thoughts chain’d up in busy snares | 5 |
| Of continual woes and cares: | |
| Love and griefs are so exprest | |
| As they rather sigh than rest. | |
| Fly hence, shadows, that do keep | |
| Watchful sorrows charm’d in sleep! | 10 |
