Upon Parting

Go hence away, and in thy parting know'Tis not my voice but Heaven's that bids thee go;Spring hence thy faith, nor think it ill desertI find in thee that makes me thus to part.But voice of fame, and voice of Heaven have thunderedWe both were lost, if both of us not sundered.Fold now thine arms, and in thy last look rearOne sigh of love, and cool it with a tear.Since part we must, let's kiss; that done, retireWith as cold frost as erst we met with fire;With such white vows as fate can ne'er dissever,But truth knit fast; and so, farewell for ever.
