- SO, so, break off this last lamenting kiss,
- Which sucks two souls, and vapours both away;
- Turn, thou ghost, that way, and let me turn this,
- And let ourselves benight our happiest day.
- We ask none leave to love; nor will we owe
- Any so cheap a death as saying, "Go."
- Go; and if that word have not quite killed thee,
- Ease me with death, by bidding me go too.
- Or, if it have, let my word work on me,
- And a just office on a murderer do.
- Except it be too late, to kill me so,
- Being double dead, going, and bidding, "Go."
