Similies on the same subiect.
AS some men weepe that are not rightly sad.
So many smile that are not rightly glad.
As trees by nature bringeth forth their fruit,
So sorrow doth by custome shed ••ad teares.
As thunder alwayes is not quencht with raine,
So griefe not euer is appea••d with teares.
As too much boldnesse is in women bad,
So fits it not in men to be too ••ad.
As showres of raine doe cause the earths encrease,
So streames of teares doe giue the soule true peac••.
As weeping Oliue trees most fruitfull are,
So mourning minds doe soonest kill despaire.
