Fons Lachrymarum or a fountain of tears: From whence doth flow Englands Complaint, Jeremiahs Lamentations paraphras'd with Divine Meditations and an elegy Upon that Son of Valor Sir Charles Lucas. Written by John Quarles |
Fons Lachrymarum | ||
Meditat. 9.
Can Heav'n forget himself, or can he sayThat thing o're night, he cannot do next day:
Can friends forget their children, or deny
Their dearest blood? or can a mountain fly?
Heav'n says, hee'l be a Father till the end:
Then he's a fool that doubts so true a friend.
