Go now my love, goodbye now,
I know you’ve stayed too long, for
The morning bell has rung, and
It seems to me it’s day.
Go now my love, goodbye now,
So they will not find you
In such sweet concealment
As this place where we lie.
Kiss me now, my sweetheart,
Make it a swift parting,
Look to your returning,
With lovers’ loyalty,
So through constant trials
Our love may be new love
And we’ll never meet with
Wicked jealousy.
Go now, my love, goodbye now,
Go now from me swiftly,
All your things are ready,
I’ve arranged them so.
