Phineas Fletcher, 1582-1650.

DROP, drop, slow tears,
And bathe those beauteous feet,
Which brought from heaven
The news and Prince of peace.

2 Cease not, wet eyes,
His mercies to entreat;
To cry for vengeance
Sin doth never cease.

3. In your deep floods
Drown all my faults and fears;
Nor let his eye
See sin, but through my tears.
