O stay mine eyes, shed not these fruitlesse teares,
Since hope is past to win you back againe,
That treasure which being lost breeds all your paine;
Cease from this poore betraying of your feares.
Since hope is past to win you back againe,
That treasure which being lost breeds all your paine;
Cease from this poore betraying of your feares.
Thinke this too childish is, for where griefe reares
So high a powre for such a wretched gaine:
Sighes nor laments should thus be spent in vaine;
True sorrow neuer outward wailing beares.
So high a powre for such a wretched gaine:
Sighes nor laments should thus be spent in vaine;
True sorrow neuer outward wailing beares.
Be rul'd by me, keepe all the rest in store,
Till no roome is that may containe one more;
Then in that Sea of teares drowne haplesse me,
Till no roome is that may containe one more;
Then in that Sea of teares drowne haplesse me,
And Ile prouide such store of sighes, as part
Shall be enough to breake the strongest heart:
This done, we shall from torments freed be.
Shall be enough to breake the strongest heart:
This done, we shall from torments freed be.
