Let him whose time hath come to go
Put never faith where he must part;
Forgetfulness and change of heart
Are penalties the absent know.
You would beloved—a lover you.
Then pay your court incessant, thou,
For hardly are you vanished ere
Remembrance goes as lightly too.
Be done with ille hope, and start
Let him whose time hath come to go;
Forgetfulness and change of heart
Are penalties the absent know.
