THE ADMONITION, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Seest thou those diamonds which she weares
Last Line: She that will weare thy teares, wo'd weare thine eyes.
Subject(s): Jewelry & Jewelers; Rings; Bracelets; Necklaces


Seest thou those Diamonds which she weares
In that rich Carkanet;
Or those on her dishevel'd haires,
Faire Pearles in order set?
Beleeve young man all those were teares
By wretched Wooers sent,
In mournfull Hyacinths and Rue,
That figure discontent;
Which when not warmed by her view,
By cold neglect, each one,
Congeal'd to Pearle and stone;
Which precious spoiles upon her,
She weares as trophees of her honour.
Ah then consider! What all this implies;
She that will weare thy teares, wo'd weare thine eyes.
