Ever bubbling things!

Thawing crystal! Snowy hills!

Still spending, never spent; I mean
Thy fair eyes, sweet Magdalene.

eyes = stars

And stars thou sow'st, whose harvest dares

Promise the earth to countershine

Whatever makes Heaven's forehead fine.

But we're deceived all:

Stars indeed they are too true,
For they but seem to fall
As Heaven's other spangles do:
It is not for our earth and us,
To shine in things so precious.

tears

Streand

Upwards thou dost weep;

Heaven's bosom drinks the gentle stream.
:cream
Where the milky rivers creep,;
wate Thine floats above and is the cream.

Waters above the heavens, what they be,
We are taught best by thy tears and thee.

Every morn from hence,

A brisk cherub something sips,

Whose soft influence

Adds sweetness to his sweetest lips;

Then to his music: and his

song

Tastes of this breakfast all day long.

Not in the evening's eyes,
When they red with weeping are
For the Sun that dies,

Sits Sorrow with a face so fair.
Nowhere but here did ever meet
Sweetness so sad, sadness so sweet.

When Sorrow would be seen

In her brightest majesty,

For she is a queen,

Then is she drest by none but thee.

Then, and only then, she wears

tes - Pearer richest pearls, I mean thy tears.

The dew no more will weep,

The primrose's pale cheek to deck;

The dew no more will sleep,

Personification of Dew, Drops Crop

Nuzzled in the lily's neck.

Much rather would it tremble here,
And leave them both to be thy tear.

There is no need at all,
That the balsam-sweating bough
So coyly should let fall

His med'cinable tears; for now
Nature hath learnt t'extract a dew,
More sovereign and sweet from you.

tears =dew

dew = tears

The Meg's dew

Yet let the poor drops weep,
Weeping is the case of woe;

Softly let them creep,

Sad that they are vanquish'd so; Draps Creep

They, though to others no relief,

May balsam be for their own grief.

Such the maiden gem

By the wanton spring put on,

Peeps from her parent stem,

And blushes on the watery sun:

as if alive

This watery blossom of thy eyne tear = blossom

Ripe, will make the richer wine.

When some new bright guest
Takes up among the stars a room,
And Heaven will make a feast,

Angels with crystal vials come;

And draw from these full eyes of thine

Their Master's water, their own wine. tear = wine
