I have lost my turtle-doo. Is't not she I hear hard by? After her I'd fain ensue. Thou thy mate regrettest too. Wellaway! And so do I. I have lost my turtle-doo. If thy love, indeed, is true, So my faith is firm and high; After her I'd fain ensue. Thy complaint is ever new; I too still must weep and sigh; I have lost my turtle-doo. Since I bade my fair adieu, Nought of pleasance I espy; After her I'd fain ensue. Death, to whom so oft I sue, Take thine own and let me die. I have lost my turtle-doo; After her I'd fain ensue.
