And thou have sworn to seal joint constancy,

I here unswear, and overswear them thus:

Thou shalt not love by means so dangerous.

Temper, O fair Love! love's impetuous rage;

Be my true mistress, not my feigned page.

I'll go; and by thy kind leave, leave behind

Thee, only worthy to nurse in my mind

Thirst to come back. O! if thou die before,

My soul from other lands to thee shall soar:

Thy (else almighty) beauty cannot move
