It fell on a sommers day
While sweete Bessie sleeping laie
In her bowre, on her bed
Light with curtaines shadowed
Iamy came: shee him spies
Opning halfe her heauie eyes
Iamy stole in through the dore
She lay slumbring as before;
Softly to her he drew neere
She heard him, yet would not heare
Bessie vow’d not to speake
He resolu’d that dumpе to breake
First a soft kisse hе doth take
She lay still, and would not wake;
Then his hands learn’d to woo
She dreamp’t not what he would doo
But still slept, while he smild
To see loue by sleepe beguild
Iamy then began to play
Bessie as one buried lay
Gladly still through this sleight
Deceiu’d in her owne deceit
And since this traunce begoon
She sleepes eu’rie afternoone
