And wilt thou leave me thus?
 Say nay, say nay, for shame,
 To save thee from the blame
 Of all my grief and grame.
 And wilt thou leave me thus?
     Say nay, say nay!
 
 And wilt thou leave me thus,
 That hath lovèd thee so long,
 In wealth and woe among?
 And in thy heart so strong
 As for to leave me thus?
     Say nay, say nay!
 
 And wilt thou leave me thus,
 That hath given thee my heart,
 Never for to depart,
 Neither for pain nor smart?
 And wilt thou leave me thus?
     Say nay, say nay!
 
 And wilt thou leave me thus
 And have no more pity
 Of him that loveth thee?
 Alas, thy cruelty!
 And wilt thou leave me thus?
     Say nay, say nay!
