Weep No More

Weep no more, nor sigh, nor groan,

Sorrow calls no time that's gone:

Violets pluck'd, the sweetest rain

Makes not fresh nor grow again.

Trim thy locks, look cheerfully;

Fate's hid ends eyes cannot see.

Joys as wingéd dreams fly fast,

Why should sadness longer last?

Grief is but a wound to woe;

Gentlest fair, mourn, mourn no moe.

— John Fletcher
1579-1625
