Farewell disdainful
Language: English
Farewell disdainful, since no love avails me, O sharp and bitter anguish, What discord grief assails me? Needs I must part, alas, yet parting makes me languish. But yet it pleaseth thee. Therefore unkind, now adieu, there is no remedy. O come again, O come again return thee: No, false Love, thy flames no more shall burn me. No, be still content thee: when I am gone, perhaps, then wilt thou repent thee.
