Where art thou wanton?
Language: English
Where art thou wanton, where art thou, and I so long about have sought thee? See where thy true love true His heart to keep hath brought thee. Then why dost thou hide thee? O why dost thou hide thee? Still I follow thee, but thou fliest me; O why fliest thou me? Say unkind and do no more deride me.
