Poems of Henry Vaughan, Silurist, Volume II
Men's joys are kill'd with[47] griefs and fears,

Yet she, like flowers oppress'd with dew,

Doth thrive and flourish in her tears. 

[13]

This, cruel, thou hast done, and thus

That face hath many servants slain,

Though th' end be not to ruin us,

But to seek glory by our pain.[48]
