The Water-course Annotated

Thou who dost dwell and linger here below,
Since the condition of this world is frail,
Where of all plants afflictions soonest grow;
If troubles overtake thee, do not wail:
For who can look for lesse, that loveth Life/Strife.

But rather turn the pipe, and waters course
To serve thy sinnes, and furnish thee with store
Of sov’raigne tears, springing from true remorse:
That so in purenesse thou mayst him adore,
Who gives to man, as he sees fit Salvation/Damnation.
