1.

Wilt thou unkind thus reave me of my heart,
of my heart, and so leave me? And so leave me?

Refrain

Farewell: but yet or ere I part (O cruell) kisse me,
sweet, kiss me sweet, my Jewell

2.

Hope by disdaine growess cheerelesse, cheerelesse,
feare doth love, love doth feare, beauty peerelesse.

3.

If no delayes can move thee, move thee, life shall die,
death shall live, still to love thee.

4.

Yet ne thou mindfull ever, ever, heat from fire,
fire from heat, none can sever.

5.

True love cannot be changed, changed,
though delight from desert be estranged.
