[sympathy]

Thanks, Anglika.

1) Can you check my understanding of the second couplet
"The day breaks not: it is my heart,
Because that you and I must part."

The day doesn't break: it is my heart that breaks, because of the fact that you and I must part.

Is that right?


2)And also, I still don't get the first line. If the narrator is addressing his lover (Stay, O Sweet), why does the narrator tell his lover not to rise? What does "rise" mean?
The sun can rise, but can a person 'rise'?


3)One more question: Why are the final two lines indented?


Thanks
