So, so leave off this lamenting kisse
Language:
English
So, so [break]1 off this [last]2 lamenting kiss
Which sucks two souls, and vapours both away;
Turn, thou ghost, that way, and let me turn this,
And let ourselves benight our [happiest]3 day,
We ask none leave to love, nor will we owe
Any so cheap a death as saying "Go."
Go; and if that word have not quite killed thee,
Ease me with death by bidding me [to]4 ge too.
Or, if it have, let my word work on me,
And a just office on a murderer do.
Except it be too late, to kill me so,
Being double dead, going, and bidding, "Go."
