"Softly, as I Leave You" is a popular song composed by Antonio De Vita (1932-1998), with original Italian lyrics by Giorgio Calabrese. It was originally an Italian success in 1960 by Mina, at the San Remo Music Festival, entitled "Piano"("Softly"). Mina published a recording of the song first time as a single in 1960, and later as well on an EP and on three LPs. The English songwriter Hal Shaper, noticed the song and in November 1961 wrote English lyrics to the melody, calling it "Softly, as I Leave You".

Why in Shakespeare's days do you see the words players exit?
Why do you see the word "Exit" on illuminated signs above doors? Because "Exit" means "he leaves" in Latin. It marks the way out. In theatre, an exit is when someone leaves. "Players" are people playing a part in a play, or in other words, actors. The words "The players exit" meaning that the actors leave the stage are found in the writing of Shakespeare's day because Shakespeare wrote in Modern English, the same as you do when you wrote this question.
