Ah cannot sighs, nor tears

J. Wilbye

Ah cannot sighs, nor tears, nor aught else move thee

To pity me, who more than life do love thee?

O cruel fates, see now away she's flying,

And fly she will, alas, and leave me dying.

Farewell most fair, farewell yet more disdainful.

Was never grief like mine, nor death more painful.
