Eleg. 6.
Farewell those eyes, whose gentle smiles forsookeNo misery, taught Charity how to looke:
Farewell those cheerefull eyes, that did e'rewhile,
Teach succour'd misery how to blesse a smile:
Farewell those eyes whose mixt aspect, of late,
Did reconcile humility and state:
Farewell those eyes, that to their joyfull guest,
Proclaim'd their ordinary fare, a feast;
Farewell those eyes, the load-stars, late, whereby
The graces sail'd secure, from eye to eye:
Farewell deare eyes, bright Lamps; ô who can tell
Your glorious welcome, or our sad farewell!
