Language: English 
O sleep, fond fancy
My head, alas, thou tirest
with false delight of that which thou desirest.

Sleep, I say, fond fancy,
and leave my thoughts molesting.
Thy master's head hath need of sleep and resting.

Composition:

    Set to music by John Bennet (1570 - 1610), "O sleep, fond fancy" [ SATB chorus a cappella ]
