AND wilt thou leave me thus! 
Say nay, say nay, for shame! 
--To save thee from the blame 
Of all my grief and grame. 
And wilt thou leave me thus? 
   Say nay! say nay! 

And wilt thou leave me thus, 
That hath loved thee so long 
In wealth and woe among: 
And is thy heart so strong 
As for to leave me thus? 
   Say nay! say nay! 

And wilt thou leave me thus, 
That hath given thee my heart 
Never for to depart 
Neither for pain nor smart: 
And wilt thou leave me thus? 
   Say nay! say nay! 

And wilt thou leave me thus, 
And have no more pitye 
Of him that loveth thee? 
Alas, thy cruelty! 
And wilt thou leave me thus? 
   Say nay! say nay!
