[The heauens inclinde to change, are passing cleere]
The heauens inclinde to change, are passing cleere,Their showres restraind make billowes of mine eies,
Their windes made calme within my breast appeere,
Which dims the aire with sighs and heauie cries.
My frozen loue hath laid the frost adowne,
These snowes restraind serue to congeale my heart,
This pleasant spring my stormie sorrowes frowne:
Goe lying bookes, cease fooles to boast your art,
And marke the cause: my Mistres smiles and lowres
Makes cleere the heauens, & clowdes my heart with showers.
Finis.
