64. On Ioy and Griefe.
Lord, if my Griefes were not oppos'd with IoyThey would destroy:
And if my Mirth were not allayd with Sadnesse,
It would be Madnesse:
While this, with that; or that, with this contends
They're both my Friends;
But when these happy Warres doe chance to cease,
I have no peace:
The more my earthly Passions doe contest,
The more my heavenly' Affections are at rest.
