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. 45.
The wise man saith, that sluggards shall be cloath'dWith rags, and all his actions shall be loath'd;
And he thats willing to obtain a prize,
Must be laborious, and have watchful eyes;
(My drowzy Soul.) make Heav'n thy prize, the strain
T'outrun thy sins and so thou shalt obtain.
