SONNET. Dry those fair, those chrystal eyes

Dry those fair, those chrystal eyes 
Which like growing fountains rise 
To drown their banks. Griefs sullen brooks 
Would better flow in furrow'd looks. 
Thy lovely face was never meant 
To be the shoar of discontent. 
Then clear those watrish starres again 
Which else portend a lasting rain; 
Lest the clouds which settle there 
Prolong my Winter all the Year: 
And the example others make 
In love with sorrow for thy sake.
