CElia weeps, and those fair Eyes,
Which were diamonds before;
Whose precious value none coud surprize,
Desolves into a pearly shower.

Celia smiles, and strait does reader
Her Eyes diamonds again;
Which after shine with greater splendor,
As the Sun does after Rain.

And if the Reason now you'd know,
VVhy Pearls and Diamonds fall and rise;
Their prices just goe high and low,
As they are worn in Celia's Eyes.
