The Winter's Tale · William Shakespeare
SONG.
AUTOLYCUS. _Get you hence, for I must go Where it fits not you to know._ DORCAS. _Whither?_ MOPSA. _O, whither?_ DORCAS. _Whither?_ MOPSA. _It becomes thy oath full well Thou to me thy secrets tell._ DORCAS. _Me too! Let me go thither._ MOPSA. Or thou goest to th’ grange or mill. DORCAS. _If to either, thou dost ill._ AUTOLYCUS. _Neither._ DORCAS. _What, neither?_ AUTOLYCUS. _Neither._ DORCAS. _Thou hast sworn my love to be._ MOPSA. _Thou hast sworn it more to me. Then whither goest? Say, whither?_ CLOWN. We’ll have this song out anon by ourselves. My father and the gentlemen are in sad talk, and we’ll not trouble them. Come, bring away thy pack after me. Wenches, I’ll buy for you both. Pedlar, let’s have the first choice. Follow me, girls. [_Exit with Dorcas and Mopsa._] AUTOLYCUS. [_Aside._] And you shall pay well for ’em.
