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. 30.
Then learn, my soul, when Heav'n afflicts, to know'Tis for thy sins he does it, and to show
The greatness of his mercy; and to make
Thee love affliction for the Afflictors sake.
Be wise and provident, and thou shalt see,
'Twas good for David, 'twill be good for thee.
