Farewell fond youth, if thou hadst not bin blind
out of my eye thou mighst have read my mind,
but now I plainely see how thou wouldst faine leave me,
sure I was a curst,
not to go at first
sure I was a curst
O fie, fie no, sweete stay
and I will tell thee why
no, sure I was a curst,
not to go at first
sure I was a curst
O fie, fie no, sweet stay
and I will tell thee why no.
Once more farewell, since first I heard thee speake,
And had but sung farewell, my heart would break,
But now since I doe find thy love is like the wind,
What a foole was I
To be like to die.
What a foole was I, I was not,
Yet fay I was a foole I passe not.
Wors me alasse, why did I let him goe,
These be fruites of idle sayin no,
Now that he can disprove me,
how shall he ever love me,
Nay but is he gone,
Then I am undone,
Nay but he is gone, O hold him,
Fie, forty things are yet untold him.
