Flow, my tears, fall from your springs!
Exiled for ever let me mourn;
Where night's black bird her sad infamy sings
There let me live forlorn

Hark, you shadows that in darkness dwell
Learn to contemn light
Happy, happy they that in hell
Feel not the world's despite

Down, vain lights, shine you no more!
No nights are dark enough for those
That in despair their lost fortunes deplore;
Light doth but shame disclose
