Alexias: the Complaint of the Forsaken Wife of Sainte Alexis:
The Seconde Elegie
Though All the joyes I had fled hence with Thee
Unkind! yet are my Teares still true to me.
I'm wedded ore again, since thou art gone,
Nor couldst thou, cruell, leave me quite alone.
Nor couldst thou, cruell, leave me quite alone.
Alexis' widdow now is sorrow's wife,
With him shall I weep out my weary life.
Wellcome, my sad sweet Mate! Now have I gott
With him shall I weep out my weary life.
Wellcome, my sad sweet Mate! Now have I gott
At last a constant love that leaves me not.
Firm he, as thou art false, nor need my cryes
Thus vex the earth & teare the beauteous skyes.
For him, alas, n'ere shall I need to be
Troublesom to the world, thus, as for thee.
For thee I talk to trees; with silent groves
Expostulate my woes & much-wrong'd loves.
Hills & relentlesse rockes, or if there be
Firm he, as thou art false, nor need my cryes
Thus vex the earth & teare the beauteous skyes.
For him, alas, n'ere shall I need to be
Troublesom to the world, thus, as for thee.
For thee I talk to trees; with silent groves
Expostulate my woes & much-wrong'd loves.
Hills & relentlesse rockes, or if there be
Things that in hardnesse more allude to thee,
To these I talk in teares, & tell my pain,
And answer too for them in teares again.
How oft have I wept out the weary sun!
My watry hour-glasse hath old times outrunne.
O I am learned grown, poor love & I
Have study'd over all astrology.
I'm perfect in heavn's state, with every starr
My skillfull greife is grown familiar.
And answer too for them in teares again.
How oft have I wept out the weary sun!
My watry hour-glasse hath old times outrunne.
O I am learned grown, poor love & I
Have study'd over all astrology.
I'm perfect in heavn's state, with every starr
My skillfull greife is grown familiar.
Rise, fairest of those fires, whate're thou be
Whose rosy beam shall point my sun to me,
Such as the sacred light that erset did bring
The Eastern princes to their infant king.
O rise, pure lamp! & land thy golden ray
That weary love at last may find his way.
Whose rosy beam shall point my sun to me,
Such as the sacred light that erset did bring
The Eastern princes to their infant king.
O rise, pure lamp! & land thy golden ray
That weary love at last may find his way.
– Richard Crashaw, Sacred Poems (1652)
