65. Tears
John Dowland's Third and Last
VVTEEP you no more, sad fountains;
- ^ What need you flow so fast?
Look how the snowy mountains
Heaven's sun doth gently waste ! But my Sun's heavenly eyes View not your weeping, That now lies sleeping Softly, now softly lies Sleeping.
Sleep is a reconciling,
A rest that peace begets ; Doth not the sun rise smiling When fair at even he sets ? Rest you then, rest, sad eyes ! Melt not in weeping, While she lies sleeping Softly, now softly lies Sleeping.
��66. My Ladys Tears
John Dowland's Third and Last
T SAW my Lady weep,
- And Sorrow proud to be advanced so
In those fair eyes where all perfections keep.
Her face was full of woe;
But such a woe (believe me) as wins more hearts Than Mirth can do with her enticing parts.
