[00:00.000]How can I then return in happy plight,[00:02.790]That am debarred the benefit of rest?[00:05.570]When day's oppression is not eased by night,[00:08.490]But day by night, and night by day, oppress'd?[00:12.670]And each, though enemies to either's reign,[00:15.580]Do in consent shake hands to torture me;[00:18.670]The one by toil, the other to complain[00:20.870]How far I toil, still farther off from thee.[00:24.750]I tell the day, to please them thou art bright[00:27.590]And dost him grace when clouds do blot the heaven:[00:31.700]So flatter I the swart-complexion'd night,[00:35.390]When sparkling stars twire not thou gild'st the even.[00:38.570]But day doth daily draw my sorrows longer,[00:42.570]And night doth nightly make grief's length seem stronger.
