Mercury Close to Venus in the Morning Valentine

Among the treasures found at Troy
A tear catcher such as David says
The Lord uses to save our tears
So the dead not be mourned
A little glass bottle where the tears
Were stored and left with the dead
To prove the love for their greatness
Transformed into the residue
Of a perfume later analysis shows
It will all be alright in the end
The rain of tears will evaporate
By morning so the ground
Gives off the sweet scent of dying
Flowers mixed with mercurial light
To keep Venus from crying
