Dry those eyes
Language: English
Dry those eyes which are o'erflowing, All your storms are over-blowing; While you in this isle are biding, You shall feast without providing; Ev'ry dainty you can think of, Ev'ry wine which you would drink of Shall be yours - all want shall shun you: Ceres' blessing so light on you.
