_Vos flebitis et lamentabimini._ Joan. xvi. 20.
Ergo mihi salvete mei, mea gaudia, luctus:
Quam charum, o Deus, est hoc mihi flere meum!
Flerem, ni flerem: solus tu, dulcis Jesu,
Laetitiam donas tunc quoque quando negas.
_Verily I say unto you, Yee shall weep and lament._
Welcome, my griefe, my joy; how deare's
To me my legacy of teares!
I'll weepe and weepe, and will therefore
Weepe 'cause I can weepe no more.
Thou, Thou, deare Lord, even Thou alone,
Giv'st joy, even when Thou givest none. CR.
