[00:00.00] Is it thy will thy image should keep open
[00:04.94] My heavy eyelids to the weary night?
[00:07.78] Dost thou desire my slumbers should be broken ,
[00:12.72] While shadows like to thee do mock my sight?
[00:15.61] Is it thy spirit that thou send'st from thee
[00:19.72] So far from home into my deeds to pry,
[00:24.63] To find out shames and idle hours in me.
[00:28.27] The scope and tenour of thy jealousy?
[00:32.45] O, no! thy love, though much, is not so great:
[00:40.11] It is my love that keeps mine eye awake;
[00:43.80] Mine own true love that doth my rest defeat,
[00:47.86] To play the watchman ever for thy sake:
[00:52.26] For thee watch I whilst thou dost wake elsewhere,
[00:59.71] From me far off, with others all too near.
