The Eclipse

WHITHER, O whither didst Thou fly, When I did grieve Thine holy eye? When Thou didst mourn to see me lost, And all Thy care and counsels crossed? O do not grieve, where’er Thou art! Thy grief is an undoing smart, Which doth not only pain, but break My heart, and makes me blush to speak. Thy anger I could kiss, and will; But O Thy grief, Thy grief, doth kill!
