SONG, by                    
First Line: Behold a wonder here
Last Line: And striking folly blind
Subject(s): Love


Behold a wonder here,
Love hath received his sight,
Which many hundred year
Hath not beheld the light.
Such beams infused be
By Cynthia in his eyes,
As first have made him see
And then have made him wise.
Love now no more will weep
For them that laugh the while;
Nor wake for them that sleep,
Nor sigh for them that smile.
So powerful is the beauty
That Love doth now behold,
As Love is turned to duty
That 's neither blind nor bold.
This Beauty shows her might
To be of double kind,
In giving Love his sight
And striking Folly blind.
