1. Soft Cupid soft, There is no haste,
For all unkindnesse gone and past.
Since thou wilt needs forsake me so,
let us parte friends, before thou goe.

2. Still shalt thou have my heart to use,
When I cannot otherwise chuse,
My life thou mayst command Saunce doubt,
Command I say and goe with out.

3. And if that I doe ever prove,
False and unkind to gentle Love,
Ile not desire to live a day,
Nor any longer then I may.

4. Ile dayly blesse the little God,
But not without a smarting rod,
Wilt thou still unkindly leave mee,
Now I pray God all ill goe with thee.
