A Song
Morpheus, the humble god that dwells
In cottages and smoky cells,
Hates gilded roofs and beds of down;
And, though he fears no prince's frown,
Flies from the circle of a crown.
Come, I say, thou powerful god
And thy leaden charming rod
Dipped in the Lethean Lake
O'er his wakeful temples shake,
Lest he should sleep and never wake.
Nature, alas, why art thou so
Obligèd to thy greatest foe?
Sleep that is thy best repast
Yet of death it bears a taste,
And both are the same thing at last.
– Sir John Denham (1642)
