Subject: Peggy

Just learned about Peggy. I loved her. Cannot express feelings in words. Perhaps John Dowland's verse of 1603 is of some comfort. But then there is a certain imortality that some poets are blessed with, Peggy is amongst them.


Weep you no more

WEEPE you no more, sad fountaines,
What need you flowe so fast?
Looke how the snowie mountaines,
Heau'ns sunne doth gently waste.
But my sunnes heau'nly eyes
View not your weeping,
That nowe lie sleeping
Softly, now softly lies
Sleeping.

Sleepe is a reconciling,
A rest that peace begets;
Doth not the sunne rise smiling,
When faire at euen he sets,
Rest you then, rest, sad eyes,
Melt not in weeping,
While she lies sleeping
Softly, now softly lies
Sleeping.

JOHN DOWLAND's Third and last Book
of Songs or Airs, I603
