Young Sheepheard turne a-side, and move
Me not to follow thee:
For I will neither kill with love,
Nor love shall not kill me.
Since I will live, and never show,
Then die not, for my love I will not give
For I will never have thee love me so,
As I doo meane to hate thee while I live.
That since the lover so dooth prove,
His death, as thou doo’st see:
Be bold I will not kill with love,
Nor love shall not kill me.
(Bartholomew Young)
