from The Teare
Such a Pearle as this is,
(Slipt from Aurora's dewy breast)
The Rose buds sweet lip kisses;
And such the Rose its selfe when vext
With ungentle flame, does shed,
Sweating in too warme a Bed.
Such the Maiden Gemme
By the wanton Spring put on,
Peeps from her Parent stemme,
And blushes on the manly Sun:
This watry Blossome of thy Eyne
Ripe, will make the richer Wine.
Faire Drop, why quak'st thou so?
'Cause thou streight must lay thy Head
In the Dust? ô no;
The Dust shall never bee thy Bed:
A pillow for thee will I bring,
Stuft with Downe of Angels wing.
Thus carryed up on high,
(For to Heaven thou must goe)
Sweetly shalt thou lye,
And in soft slumbers bath thy woe;
Till the singing Orbes awake thee,
And one of their bright Chorus make thee.
There thy selfe shalt bee
An eye, but not a weeping one,
Yet I doubt of thee,
Whither th' hadst rather there have shone
An eye of Heaven; or still shine here
In th' Heaven of Mary's eye, a Teare.
– Richard Crashaw, Steps to the Temple (1648)
