To Amanda leaving him alone.
What businesse calls thee hence, and calls not me?My businesse ever is to wait on thee;
Therefore where e're you go
I must go too
What e're your businesse is,
Bee't that or this:
Yet still my businesse is to wait on you;
Nay prethy, my Dearest, why
So coy and shie?
Yes, yes, you'l come agen,
But prethy when?
Here must I moap alone;
Whil'st you some other love,
Or in your Cabinet above,
Some letters doat upon,
Which teach you how to say me nay;
22
My soul shall vanish into aire,
And haunt and dodge thee ev'ry where.
'Tis fit when thou tak'st Heav'n from me,
Thou take at least my soul with thee.
