Let me depart, since ye are happy here.

PUELLÆ

What wilt thou do within the desert place

Whereto thou turnest now thy careful face?

Stay but a while to tell us of thy case.

Abide! abide! for we are happy here.

AMANS

What, nigh the journey's end shall I abide,

When in the waste mine own love wanders wide,

When from all men for me she still doth hide?
