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. 16.
But can a mind, enammell'd with the gloryOf Heav'n, have end; or else is Death a story?
Death is the end of Life, and yet we see
Life is derived from Deaths soveraigntie.
'Tis quickly known, the Death of Sin must give
The pard'ned Soul a priviledg to live.
