Vergil,
Aeneid 10.855-856 (Mezentius speaking; tr. H. Rushton Fairclough):
Now I live on, and leave not yet daylight and mankind;
but leave I will.
nunc vivo neque adhuc homines lucemque relinquo.
sed linquam.
relinquo...linquam is an example of compound-simplex verbal iteration, where the simplex verb has the meaning of the preceding compound verb, on which see e.g.:
