Eleg. 1.
All you whose eies would learn to weepe, draw neere,And heare, what none, without full teares, can hear;
Come marble eyes, as marble as your hearts,
I'le teach you how to weepe a teare in parts;
And you false eyes, that never yet, let fall
A teare in earnest, come, and now ye shall
Send forth salt fountaines of the truest griefe,
That ever sought to Language, for reliefe:
But you, you tender eyes, that cannot beare
An Elegie, wept forth, without a teare.
I warne you hence; or, at the most, passe by,
Lest while you stay, you soone dissolve, and dye.
