[Curst (like the Fig-tree) is that barren eye]

Curst (like the Fig-tree) is that barren eye
That in a flood of sins is alwayes dry.
Teares are the choicest Jewels which are set
Like Orient Pearls in Heavens's rich Cabinet.
When Faith implores, th'Almighty One that lent
A vent for Tears, will send us teares to vent.
