Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDCECEFGFGHH| XLV | A |
| Care charmer Sleep son of the sable Night | B |
| Brother to Death in silent darkness born | C |
| Relieve my languish and restore the light | B |
| With dark forgetting of my cares return | D |
| And let the day be time enough to mourn | C |
| The shipwreck of my ill adventur'd youth | E |
| Let waking eyes suffice to wail their scorn | C |
| Without the torment of the night's untruth | E |
| Cease dreams th' imagery of our day desires | F |
| To model forth the passions of the morrow | G |
| Never let rising sun approve you liars | F |
| To add more grief to aggravate my sorrow | G |
| Still let me sleep embracing clouds in vain | H |
| And never wake to feel the day's disdain | H |
