Proud Grief sits swelling in her eyes | B |
The Sun next those the fairest light | A |
Thus from the Ocean first did rise | B |
And thus thro' Mists we see the Sun | C |
Which else we durst not gaze upon | D |
- | |
These silver drops like morning dew | E |
Foretell the fervour of the day | F |
So from one Cloud soft show'rs we view | E |
And blasting lightnings burst away | F |
The Stars that fall from Celia's eye | G |
Declare our Doom in drawing nigh | G |

The Baby in that sunny Sphere | H |
So like a Phaeton appears | I |
That Heav'n the threaten'd World to spare | J |
Thought fit to drown him in her tears | K |
Else might th' ambitious Nymph aspire | L |
To set like him Heav'n too on fire | M |
