Ben Jonson Slow, Slow, Fresh Fount 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. 1600 |
