Goodfryday
Weep & spare not:Good eyes are not
Of use, now He is gone
On whose sweet eyes alone
They dwelt, & liv'd, & lov'd, & read
More Heavn then in ye Sphears is spread.
We tender not our dull eyes now Wee finde
The Eye of Heavn it selfe to Day is Blinde.
Poore Eyes, what have you left to see
But blackest face of Miserie?
Then though you melt & waste
With your owne Tears at last;
Yet We care not;
Weep & spare not.
