[Flow not so fast yee fountaines]
Flow not so fast yee fountaines,
What needeth all this haste,
Swell not aboue your mountaines,
Nor spend your time in waste,
What needeth all this haste,
Swell not aboue your mountaines,
Nor spend your time in waste,
Gentle springs, gentle springs freshly your salt teares
Must still fall dropping
Must still fall dropping dropping
Fall dropping from their spheares.
Must still fall dropping
Must still fall dropping dropping
Fall dropping from their spheares.
Weepe they apace whom Reason,
Or lingring time can ease:
My sorow can no season,
Nor ought besides appease
Or lingring time can ease:
My sorow can no season,
Nor ought besides appease
Gentle springs, &c.
Time can abate the terrour
Of euerie common paine,
But common griefe is errour,
True griefe will still remaine.
Of euerie common paine,
But common griefe is errour,
True griefe will still remaine.
Gentle springs, &c.
