1. If she forsake me I must die,
Shall I tell her so,
Alas then strait will she reply,
no no no no no,
If I disclose my desp'rate state
She will but make sport thereat
And more unrelenting grow.
2. What heart can long such pains abide,
Fie upon this love,
I would adventure far and wide,
If it would remove,
But love will still my steps pursue,
I cannot his ways eschew,
Thus still helpless hopes I prove.
3. I doe my love in lines commend,
But alas in vain,
The costly gifts that I do send,
She returns again,
Thus still is my despair procur'd,
And her malice more assured,
Then come death and end my paine.
