::::''1.'' :Wilt thou unkind now leave me :weepinge, my liefe decaied :and death so fast approchinge :and yet by thy smile is staid? ::::''2.'' :If my faithfull desert you seeke to requite :Why alas doe I live disdained? :But if you take delight :cruell to see me payned, :ah thou my hart hast reft me :and now noe sence of paine is left me. ::::''3.'' :Death sure I cannot feele hurtles ungreeved :nor can I live of hart deprived. :If my deadly panges only content thee, :with those sweet lipps that slue mee :new liefe infuse and then torment me.
