WHAT should I say?   —Since Faith is dead, And Truth away   From you is fled?   Should I be led     With doubleness?     Nay! nay! mistress.

I promised you,   And you promised me, To be as true   As I would be.   But since I see     Your double heart,     Farewell my part!

Thought for to take   'Tis not my mind; But to forsake   One so unkind;   And as I find     So will I trust.     Farewell, unjust!

Can ye say nay   But that you said That I alway   Should be obeyed?   And—thus betrayed     Or that I wist!     Farewell, unkist!
