 Matches base text
Language: English 
Away, thou shalt not love me.
So shall my love seem greater
And I shall love the better.
Shall it be so? what say you?
Why speak you not I pray you?
Nay then I know you love me
That so you may disprove me.

    Set to music by John Wilbye (1574 - 1638), "Away, thou shalt not love me", published 1598 [  vocal trio ], madrigal
