TO MUSICK, TO BECALME A SWEET-SICK-YOUTH, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Charms, that call down the moon from out her sphere
Last Line: Like to a slumbring bride, awake againe.
Subject(s): Music & Musicians; Sleep


Charms, that call down the moon from out her sphere,
On this sick youth work your enchantments here:
Bind up his senses with your numbers, so,
As to entrance his paine, or cure his woe.
Fall gently, gently, and a while him keep
Lost in the civill Wildernesse of sleep:
That done, then let him, dispossest of paine,
Like to a slumbring Bride, awake againe.
