July 6, 2023Dear Pretty Youth
Dear pretty youth, unveil your eyes,
How can you sleep when I am by?
Were I with you all night to be,
Methinks I could from sleep be free.
Alas, my dear, you’re cold as stone:
You must no longer lie alone.
But be with me my dear, and I in each arm
Will hug you close and keep you warm.
Thomas Shadwell
Thomas Shadwell (1642-1692) was an English poet and playwright who was appointed Poet Laureate in 1689. He was known for his comedic plays and wrote many works for the stage.
