Classic Poem

Fa rewell those eyes, whose gentle smiles forsooke
No misery, taught Charity how to looke:
Farewell those cheerefull eyes, that did e'rwhile
Teach succour'd misery how to blesse a smile:
Farewell those eyes whose mixt aspect of late
Did reconcile humility and state:
Farewell those eyes, that to their joyfull guest
Proclaim'd their ordinary fare, a feast:
Farewell those eyes, the load-stars, late, whereby
The Graces sail'd secure, from eye to eye:
Farewell deare eyes, bright Lamps: ô who can tell
Your glorious welcome or our sad farewell?
