[VIII. Whether away so fast]

Whether away so fast, tell mee my deere

Whether away so fast, tell mee my deere, my white sweet bonny darling: whether away so fast my deere? whether away so fast? tell mee, ah, my deere, from your loue approued? what hast I say, what hast tell me, what hast? what hast? tell me, my darling deere beloued. Then will we trie who faster runs thou or I, See then I come, dispatch thee I come, away, away, away, away, lo I come, I come, I come, dispatch thee, hast thee hence I say, or else I catch thee, I catch thee. Thinck, thinck not thus away to scape without mee, to scape thus without, without me, no thinck not thus away to scape without me, to scape without mee: but run you need not doubt mee: what now? what faint you, faint you, of your sweet feet forsaken, forsaken?



O wel I see you meane to mock me, run or else I catch you: what you halt? O doe you so? alack the while, what are you down? pretty mayd, well ouertaken, what now? what faint you, faint you, of your sweet feet forsaken, of your sweet feet forsaken, O well I see you meane to mock mee, run or else I catch you, what? you halt, ô doe you so? alack the while, what are you downe pretty maid, well ouertaken.
