Wilt thou, unkind, thus reave me?

J. Dowland

Wilt thou, Unkind! thus 'reave me

Of my heart and so leave me?

Farewell!

But yet, or ere I part, O Cruel,

Kiss me, Sweet, my Jewel!

Farewell!

Hope by disdain grows cheerless,

Fear doth love, love doth fear;

Beauty peerless,

Farewell!

If no delays can move thee,

Life shall die, death shall live

Still to love thee.

Farewell!

Yet be thou mindful ever!

Heat from fire, fire from heat,

None can sever.

Farewell!

True love cannot be changèd,

Though delight from desert

Be estrangèd.

Farewell!
