[iv] To Sleepe.

How comes it Sleepe, that thou
Euen kisses me affords
Of her (deare her) so farre who's absent now?
How did I heare those Words,
Which Rockes might moue, and moue the Pines to bow?
Aye mee before halfe Daye
Why didst thou steale away?
Returne, I thine for euer will remaine,
And onlie bring with thee that Guest againe.
