Come, Sleep, and with thy sweet...
Language: English
Come, Sleep, and with thy sweet deceiving
Lock me in delight awhile;
Let some pleasing [dreams]1 beguile
All my fancies; that from thence
[I may feel]2 an influence
All my powers of care bereaving.
Though but a shadow, but a sliding,
Let me know some little joy!
We that suffer long annoy
Are contented with a thought
Through an idle fancy wrought:
O let my joys have some abiding!

Ven Sueño, y con tu dulce engaño
Language: Spanish (Español) after the English
Ven Sueño, y con tu dulce engaño
enciérrame por un instante en el placer.
Deja que algunos sueños agradables acunen
todas mis ilusiones; que desde ese momento
pueda sentir una influencia
que me prive de todas mis preocupaciones.
Aunque no seas más que una sombra, un desliz,
¡hazme sentir alguna pequeña alegría!
Los que soportamos una gran desazón
nos contentamos con un pensamiento
provocado por una vana ilusión.
¡Oh, deja que mis alegrías duren un poco!
