[XX. Madrigale. Loe here I leaue]

Loe here I leaue, I leaue, my hart in keeping

Loe here I leaue, I leaue, my hart in keeping, Loe here I leaue my hart in keeping, With her that laughs To see, to see me weeping, Oh, Oh what comfort or treasure, Is life with her displeasure? Breake, breake hart and dye then, Breake, breake hart and dye then, That she which still doth paine me, may liue the more content, the more, the more content, the more content, When griefe hath slaine me.
