Love

I'll Ne'er Love More

by William Rowley c. 1585–1626

From Lyrics from the Dramatists of the Elizabethan Age, ed. A. H. Bullen (London: Nimmo, 1889)

Love

O stay, O turn, O pity me
That sighs, that sues for love of thee!
O lack! I never loved before;
If you deny, I'll ne'er love more.

No hope, no help! then wretched I
Must lose, must lack, must pine, and die;
Since you neglect when I implore.
Farewell, hard, I'll ne'er love more.
