Sleep, that sometimes shuts up sorrow's eye, steal me awhile from mine own company

Sleep, that sometimes shuts up sorrow's eye, steal me awhile from mine own company

In William Shakespeare's works, the theme of sleep often serves as a temporary escape from the troubles and sorrows of life. The quote "Sleep, that sometimes shuts up sorrow's eye, steal me awhile from mine own company" from his play "Henry IV, Part 2" reflects this sentiment perfectly.
