Let Me Die Or Mourn

Accompany not; let me mourn.
		Till it is a fine morn,
		I want but to be alone.
		It’s not for your sour scorn
		That I deeply mourn,
		But for, away, you are to be gone.
		Stop, my girl, all your whine,
		And get your heart be calm down.
		It is your love that turns slow;
		And my face goes below.
		Only tears come to my aid
		Since none is to hide.
		Touch me not by your hands;
		Touch me but by your wants.
		It’s you, who matters me high,
		Aye, keep me beneath your eye,
		‘Tis all that I pray.
		And if you think of me not to pry,
		Just, just let me die.
