Slow, slow, fresh fount, keep time with my salt tears; Yet slower, yet, O faintly, gentle springs: List to the heavy part the music bears, Woe weeps out her division,...
Slow, slow, fresh fount, keep time with my salt tears;
Yet slower, yet, O faintly, gentle springs:
List to the heavy part the music bears,
Woe weeps out her division, when she sings.
Droop, herbs and flowers,
Fall grief in showers;
Our beauties are not ours:
O, I could still,
Like melting snow upon some craggy hill,
Drop, drop, drop, drop,
Since nature’s pride is, now, a withered daffodil.
~ "Echo's Song" by Ben Jonson
