HINC LACHRIMAE; OR THE AUTHOR TO AURORA: 2, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Coelum's fair daughter hath bereft my heart
Last Line: As if she would not wish my life, nor end.
Alternate Author Name(s): William Boxworth


Coelum's fair daughter hath bereft my heart
Of those sweet hopes to lovers only due;
Unwilling she those pleasures to impart,
Lest too much joy should make me cease to rue,
Lest her fair eyes should work that gracious hap,
Which she would not permit I should enjoy,
While I lie lull'd in Fate's unconstant lap,
With grief converse, and still with sorrow toy:
For such a gentle pain she doth me send,
As if she would not wish my life, nor end.
