First Line: We blame, nay we despise her paines
Last Line: To drench, but not to drown our seed.


We blame, nay we despise her paines
That wets her Garden when it raines:
But when the drought has dri'd the knot;
Then let her use the watring pot.
We pray for showers (at our need)
To drench, but not to drown our seed.
