  Ran away and left me 'plaining:
  “Abide,” I cried,
  “Or I die with thy disdaining.”
  “Tee! hee! hee!” quoth she,
  “Gladly would I see,
  Any man to die with loving.
  Never any yet,
  Died of such a fit,
  Neither have I fear of proving.”
  
  “Unkind, I find
  Thy delight is in tormenting,
  Abide,” I cried,
  “Or I die with thy consenting.”
  “Tee! hee! hee!” quoth she,
  “Make no fool of me,
  Men I know have oaths at pleasure;
  But their hopes attained,
  They belay they feigned,
  And their oaths are kept at leisure.”  less
