From Wilbye's second set of madrigals. 1609.
Lyrics: Anon, probably the composer
Draw on, sweet night, best friend unto those cares
that do arise from painful melancholy.
My life so ill through want of comfort fares,
that unto thee I consecrate it wholly.
Sweet Night, draw on. My griefs, when they be told
to shades and darkness, find some ease from paining.
And while thou all in silence dost enfold,
I then shall have best time for my complaining.
Draw on, sweet night, best friend unto those cares
that do arise from painful melancholy.
My life so ill through want of comfort fares,
that unto thee I consecrate it wholly.
Sweet Night, draw on. My griefs, when they be told
to shades and darkness, find some ease from paining.
And while thou all in silence dost enfold,
I then shall have best time for my complaining.
