Upon parting
Gordon Ware Binkerd
Goe hence away, and in thy parting know
tis not my voice, but heavens, that bidds thee goe;
Spring hence thy faith, nor thinke it ill desert
I find in thee, that makes me thus to part,
But voice of fame, and voice of heaven have thunderd
we both were lost, if both of us not sunderd;
fould now thine armes, and in thy last looke reare
one Sighe of love, and coole it with a teare;
Since part we must Let's kisse, that done retire
with as cold frost, as erst we mett with fire;
With such white vowes as fate can nere dissever
but truth knitt fast; and so farewell for ever.
