John Dowland THE PARTING, | Since there's no help, come let us kiss and part. — Nay I have done, you get no more of me ; And I am glad, yea, glad with all my heart, That thus so cleanly I myself can free ; Shake hands for ever, cancel all our vows, And when we meet at any time again, Be it not seen in either of our brows That we one jot of former love retain. Now at the last gasp of love's latest breath. When his pulse failing, passion speechless lies. When faith is kneeling by his bed of death.... And innocence is closing up his eyes, — Now if thou would'st, when all have given him over. From death to life thou might'st him yet recover ! Michael Drayton IMMORTALITY IN SONG How many paltry, foolish, painted things, That now in coaches trouble every street, Shall be forgotten, whom no poet sings. Ere they be well wrapped in their winding-sheet ? ■'I / t 1 ) ! 192 MICHAEL DRAYTON Where I to thee eternity shall give, When nothing else remaineth of these days. And queens hereafter shall be glad to live Upon the alms of thy superfluous praise ; Virgins and matrons, reading these my rhymes, Shall be so much delighted with thy story.
