XIIII.

[Faarewell vnkind farewell]

Faarewell vnkind farewell,
To mee no more a father,
Since my heart my heart
Holdes my loue most deare:
The wealth which thou doest reape,
Anothers hand must gather,
Though thy heart thy heart
Still lies buried there,
Then farewell, then farewell,
O farewell,
Welcome my loue,
Welcome my ioy for euer.
Tis not the vaine desire
of humane fleeting beautie,
Makes my mind to liue,
though my meanes do die.
Nor do I Nature wrong,
though I forget my dutie:
Loue, not in the bloud,
but in the spirit doth lie.
Then farewell, &c.
