With tears augmenting the fresh morning's dew,
Adding to clouds more clouds with his deep sighs:

Should in the furthest east begin to draw
The shady curtains from Aurora's bed,
Away from light steals home my heavy son,
And private in his chamber pens himself,
Shuts up his windows, locks fair daylight out,
And makes himself an artificial night.

Unless good counsel may the cause remove.
