At Nighte Time
Language: English
When thou hast spent the lingering day
In pleasure and delighte,
Or after toyle and wearie waye
Dost seek thy rest at nighte.
Unto thy prayers or pleasures past,
Adde this one labor yet;
Ere sleep close up thyne eie too fast,
Doo not thy God forget.
About the year 1500
