The Hesperides & Noble Numbers/Hesperides/To Music, to Becalm a Sweet-sick Youth
244. TO MUSIC, TO BECALM A SWEET-SICK YOUTH.
Charms, that call down the moon from out her sphere,
On this sick youth work your enchantments here:
Bind up his senses with your numbers so
As to entrance his pain, or cure his woe.
Fall gently, gently, and a while him keep
Lost in the civil wilderness of sleep:
That done, then let him, dispossessed of pain,
Like to a slumb'ring bride, awake again.
