POEMS ON THE DEATH OF PRINCE HENRY: VPON THE UNSEASONABLE TIMES, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Fond vulgar, canst thou thinke it strange to finde
Last Line: Men's sighes and teares are slight, and quickly done.
Subject(s): Death; Hearts; Mourning; Tears; Wind; Winter; Dead, The; Bereavement


Fond Vulgar, canst thou thinke it strange to finde
So watery Winter, and so wastefull Winde?
What other face could Natures age become,
In looking on Great HENRY's Herse and Toome?
The World's whole Frame, his Part in mourning beares:
The Windes are Sighes: the Raine is Heauens Teares:
And if These Teares be rife, and Sighes be strong,
Such Sighs, such Tears, to these sad Times belong.
These Showrs haue drown'd all Hearts: These Sighs did make
The CHVRCH, the WORLD, with Griefs, with Feares to shake.
Weep on, ye Heauens; and Sigh as ye begon:
Men's Sighes and Teares are slight, and quickly done.
