A song by John Dowland (1563-1626). Revised version.
What if I never leave?
Shall I still yield to despair,
And still on sorrow feed
That I can’t my loss repair?
Or shall I change the vote?
For tis disgrace and fraud.
Since, as good Rudy notes,
The love for me is broad.
Will thou let me stay
President For Life?
Then ever should I serve you all my days.
Come, come, come, for I want the thing so bad
Come, come, come, for I fear that I’ll go mad
