Eleg. 15.
[I grieve to see the wofull face o'th' Court]
I grieve to see the wofull face o'th' Court,And for each grieved member of the land;
I grieve for those that make these griefes their sport,
And cannot their own evill understand.
294
And vertue as despis'd grow out of date:
How they receive most hurt that do least harme,
And how poore honest Truth incurreth hate.
But more, much more I grieve that we do misse
The joy we lately had; and that hee's gone
Whose living presence might have helpt all this:
His everlasting absence makes me mone.
Yea, most I grieve that Britains Hope is fled,
And that her Darling brave Prince Henrie's dead.
