To Musique, to becalme his Fever.
1.
CHarm me asleep, and melt me soWith thy Delicious Numbers;That being ravisht, hence I goeAway in easie slumbers.Ease my sick head,And make my bed,Thou Power that canst severFrom me this ill:And quickly still:Though thou not killMy Fever.
2.
Thou sweetly canst convert the sameFrom a consuming fire,Into a gentle-licking flame,And make it thus expire.
descriptionPage 107
Then make me weepMy paines asleep;And give me such reposes,That I, poore I,May think, thereby,I live and die'Mongst Roses,
2.
Fall on me like a silent dew,Or like those Maiden showrs,Which, by the peepe of day, doe strewA Baptime o're the flowers.Melt, melt my paines,With thy soft straines;That having ease me given,With full delight,I leave this light;And take my flightFor Heaven.
