FOR THE LUTE VIOL
and Voice

I o h n   D a n y e l

1606

 

9. Griefe keepe within.
Mrs. M.E. her Funerall teares for the death of her husband. The first part.

  Greefe keep within and scorne to shew but teares,
Since Ioy can weepe as well as thou :
Disdaine to sigh for so can slender cares,
Which but from Idle causes grow.
Doe not looke forth vnlesse thou didst know how
To looke with thine owne face, and as thou art,
And onely let my hart,
That knowes more reason why,
Pyne, fret, consume, swell, burst and dye.
