Stay, cruel, stay!

Stay, cruel, stay!
  Pity mine anguish!
  And, if I languish
For that which you do bear away,
  Ah, how can you be so unkind
  As not to grieve for that you leave behind?
And if you'll go, yet let your pity stay.
  But will you go and show that you neglect me?
  Yet say farewell, and seem but to respect me.
