• The lover’s farewellAnd wilt thou, love, my soul display,And all my secret thoughts betray?I strove but could not hold thee fast,My heart flies off with thee at last.The favorite daughter of the dawn,On love’s mild breeze will soon be gone:I strove but could not cease to love,Nor from my heart the weight remove.And wilt thou, love, my soul beguile,And gull thy fav’rite with a smile?

  Nay, soft affection answers, nay,

  And beauty wings my heart away.

  I steal on tiptoe from these bowers,

  All spangled with a thousand flowers;

  I sigh, yet leave them all behind,

  To gain the object of my mind

  And wilt thou, love, command my soul,

  And waft me with a light control?

  Adieu to all the blooms of May,

  Farewell–I fly with love away!

  I leave my parents here behind,

  And all my friends–to love resigned–

  ‘Tis grief to go, but death to stay:

  Farewell–I’m gone with love away!

  I wished you’ll read this poem, signed with all my love…

  Not to cry, I will not swear

  I will miss you.

Farewell by Shakespeare

• Farewell! Thou art too dear for my possessing,And like enough thou knows thy estimate,The charter of thy worth gives thee releasing;My bonds in thee are all determinate.For how do I hold thee but by thy granting,And for that riches where is my deserving?The cause of this fair gift in me is wanting,And so my patent back again is swerving.Thyself thou gav’st, thy own worth then not knowing,Or me, to whom thou gav’st it, else mistaking;So thy great gift upon misprision growing,

  Comes home again, on better judgment making

  Thus have I had thee as a dream doth flatter?

  In sleep a king, but waking no such matter
