What is love?
PIERROT[_Answering in a very humble attitude of scholarship._] If you please, A most sweet folly! Full of mirth and melancholy; Both of these! In its sadness worth all gladness, If you please! THE LADY Prithee where, Goes Love a-hiding? Is he long in his abiding Anywhere? Can you bind him when you find him; Prithee, where? PIERROT With spring days Love comes and dallies: Upon the mountains, through the valleys Lie Love's ways. Then he leaves you and deceives you In spring days. THE LADY Thine answers please me: 'tis thy turn to ask. To meet thy questioning be now my task. |
