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. 58.
Learn how to prize thy Faith (my Soul) and knowShe is thy only safety here below:
She is a trusty buckler to protect thee
From showres of evil, and to good direct thee.
Then rouze my Soul, and be not quite cast down,
Repentance brings in Faith, and Faith a Crown.
