\nSINCE there\u2019s no help, come let us kiss and part,\u2014
\nNay I have done, you get no more of me;
\nAnd I am glad, yea, glad with all my heart,
\nThat thus so cleanly I myself can free;
\nShake hands for ever, cancel all our vows,
\n5
\nAnd when we meet at any time again,
\nBe it not seen in either of our brows
\nThat we one jot of former love retain.
\nNow at the last gasp of love\u2019s latest breath,
\nWhen his pulse failing, passion speechless lies,
\n10
\nWhen faith is kneeling by his bed of death,
\nAnd innocence is closing up his eyes,
\n\u2014Now if thou would\u2019st, when all have given him over,
\nFrom death to life thou might\u2019st him yet decover!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
