His Mistris to him at his farwell.

You may vow Ile not forgett
To pay the debt,
Which to thy Memorie stands as due
As faith can seale It you;
Take then tribute of my teares,
So long as I haue feares
To prompt mee, I shall euer
Languish and looke but thy returne see neuer.
Oh then to lessen my dispaire
Print thy lips into the ayre,
So by this
Meanes I may kisse thy kisse,
When as some kinde
Winde
Shall hither waft it, and in leiu
My lipps shall send a 1000 back to you.
Ro: herrick.
