A REASONABLE AFFLICTION (4) by MATTHEW PRIOR

First Line: IN A DARK CORNER OF THE HOUSE
Last Line: SHE'LL EVEN WEEP OUT HER EYES.
IN a dark corner of the house
Poor Helen sits, and sobs and cries;
She will not see her loving spouse,
Nor her more dear picquet-allies:
Unless she find her eye-brows,
She'll even weep out her eyes.
