  Thomas Dekker (1572?-1632?), British poet. The Pleasant Comedy of 
Patient 
Grissell. OBSC. Oxford Book of Sixteenth Century Verse, The. E. K. 
Chambers, 
comp. (1932) Oxford University Press.

Sure enough, looks like Sir Paul ripped off Dekker. He'd been dead for 
almost 340 years though.Not quite the same as making millions on the work 
of 
living writers who are of a socially and financially oppressed minority.

Golden Slumbers Kiss Your Eyes
 

        Golden slumbers kiss your eyes,
Smiles awake you when you rise ;
Sleep, pretty wantons, do not cry,
And I will sing a lullaby,
Rock them, rock them, lullaby.
Care is heavy, therefore sleep you,
You are care, and care must keep you ;
Sleep, pretty wantons, do not cry,
And I will sing a lullaby,
Rock them, rock them, lullaby.
Thomas Dekker

Yes Looks like Sir Paul riiped off Dekker But he'd been dead for over 300 
years .
