Valedictio |
|
So so, leaue of this last lamenting kisse [290] |
Wch. sucks to soules and vapours both away |
Turne thou Ghost that way, and let mee turne this |
And let our soules benight our happy day |
We ask'd none leaue to loue, nor will wee owe |
Any so cheape a death as saying, Goe. |
|
Goe, and if that word haue not quite killd thee |
Ease mee with death by bidding mee goe too |
Or if it haue, let my word worke on mee |
And a iust office on a murderer doe |
Except it bee too late to kill mee so |
Beeing double dead, going, and bidding Goe.| |
