Sions Elegies: Threnodia I, Eleg. 2

BEhold! her eyes, those glorious eyes, that were
Like two faire Suns, in one celestiall Sphaere,
Whose radiant beames did, once, reflect so bright,
Are now eclipsed, and have lost their light,
And seeme like Ilands, about which appeares
A troubled Ocean, with a Tide of Teares;
Her servant Cities (that were once at hand,
And bow'd their servile necks to her command,)
Stand all aloofe, as strangers to her mone,
And give her leave to spend her teares alone,
Her neighbours flatter, with a false reliefe,
And with a kisse, betray her to her griefe.
