[Say nothing, that, to save thy lightest pain]

Say nothing, that, to save thy lightest pain,
I willingly from out this World would pass;
Though there indeed my loss must be my gain,
That for a while must dwell from thee, alas!
No, even as thyself thy friends are dear;
Whatever thou hast lov'd from youth till now,
Is lov'd of me, and in affection near,
And for their safety I record my vow:
Never believe, that I am dull at heart,
When hazard shall be made of thee, and thine,
But with a perfect soul, and not in part,
I freely will this balmy air resign:
O, think but this, whatever love has dar'd,
For thy sweet sake shall of my love be heir'd.
