Eleg. 2.
Behold! her eyes, those glorious eyes, that wereLike two faire Suns, in one celestiall Sphære,
Whose radiant beames did, once, reflect so bright,
Are now eclipsed, and have lost their light,
440
A troubled Ocean, with a Tide of Teares;
Her servant Cities (that were once at hand,
And bow'd their servile necks to her command,)
Stand all aloofe, as strangers to her mone,
And give her leave to spend her teares alone,
Her neighbours flatter, with a false reliefe,
And with a kisse, betray her to her griefe.
