Work rating: Low


                    I. See! what an undisturbed teare   She weepes for her last sleepe; But, viewing her, straight wak`d a Star,   She weepes that she did weepe.                     II. Griefe ne`re before did tyranize   On th` honour of that brow, And at the wheeles of her brave eyes   Was captive led til now.                     III. Thus, for a saints apostacy   The unimagin`d woes And sorrowes of the Hierarchy   None but an angel knowes.                     IV. Thus, for lost soules recovery   The clapping of all wings And triumphs of this victory   None but an angel sings.                     V. So none but she knows to bemone   This equal virgins fate, None but LUCASTA can her crowne   Of glory celebrate.                     VI. Then dart on me (CHAST LIGHT) one ray,   By which I may discry Thy joy cleare through this cloudy day   To dresse my sorrow by.
