Neighbours FAREWEL to his Friends.  

NOw come is my departing time,  
And here I may no longer stay▪  
There is no kind Comerad of mine,  
But will desire I were ●way.  
But if that time would me permit,  
Which from your company doth call.  
And me enforceth for to flit,  
Goodnight and God be with you all.   

For here I grant some time I spent  
In loving kind good company.  
For all offences I repent,  
And wisheth now forgiven to be,  
What I have done for want of wit  
To memory I'll not recall:  
I hope ye are my friends as yet,  
Goodnight and God be with you all.   

Complementing I never lou‘d  
Nor talkative much for to be,  
And of speeches a multitude.  
Becomes no man of quality  
From faith, love, peace and unity  
I wish none of us never fall▪  
God grant us all prosperity,  
Goodnight and God be with you all.   

I wish that I might longer stay,  
To enjoy your society;  
The Lord to bless you night and day  
And still be in your company  
No Vice nor Iniquity.  
God grant none of you ever fall.  
God's blessing keep both you and me  
Goodnight and God be with you all   

The Friends Reply.  
Most loving friend, God be thy guide,  
And never leave thy company,  
And all things needful thee provide  
And give thee all prosperity,  
We rather had thy company  
If thou wouldst have stayed us among,  
We wish thee much felicity.  
God grant that nothing do thee wrong.
