What clouded in Grief my fair Corina? In such a Sorrow, sat the Queen of Love when in the Woods she mourn'd her young Adonis 's Death, and from her Christal-droping-Eyes, did pay a Lovers Obsequy: Light of my Soul, my Hearts refined part, why dost thou weep, why like distilling Roses waste, dissolving thus thy Beauties to a Dew?
