A poem by Henry Vaughan

In Etesiam Lachrymantem

________________________________________________
Title:     In Etesiam Lachrymantem
Author: Henry Vaughan [More Titles by Vaughan]

O Dulcis Iuctus, risuque potentior omni!
Quem decorant lachrimis sidera tanta suis.
Quam tacitae spirant aurae! vultusque nitentes
Contristant veneres, collachrimantque suae!
Ornat gutta genas, oculisque simillima gemma:
Et tepido vivas irrigat imbre rosas.
Dicite Chaldaei! quae me fortuna fatigat,
[C?D?]um formosa dies et sine nube perit[1]?
