I saw my lady weep
And sorrow proud to be advanced so
In those fair eyes 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 with her enticing charms
Sorrow was there made fair
And passion wise tears a delightful thing
Silence beyond all speech beyond all speech a wisdom rare
She made her sighs to sing
And all things and all things with so sweet a sadness move
As made my heart at once at once both grieve and love
O fairer than aught else
The world can show leave off in time to grieve
Enough enough your joyful looks your joyful looks excels
Tears kill the heart believe believe
O strive not to be excellent in woe
Which only breeds your beauty's beauty's overthrow
