[Locke vp faire lids the treasure of my heart]
Locke vp faire lids the treasure of my heart,
Preserue those beames, this ages onely light,
To her sweet sence, sweet sleepe, some ease impart,
Her sence too weake to beare her spirits might.
Preserue those beames, this ages onely light,
To her sweet sence, sweet sleepe, some ease impart,
Her sence too weake to beare her spirits might.

And while, O sleepe, thou closest vp her sight,
Her light, where loue did forge his fairest dart:
O harbour all her parts in easefull plight,
Let no strange dreame make her faire body start.
Her light, where loue did forge his fairest dart:
O harbour all her parts in easefull plight,
Let no strange dreame make her faire body start.
But yet, O dreame, if thou wilt not depart,
In this rare subiect from thy common right:
But wilt thy selfe in such a seat delight,
Then take my shape and play a Louers part:
Kisse her from me, and say vnto her sprite,
Till her eyes shine, I liue in darkest night.
