Now this is pretty cool. The first four lines are quoted by the Beatles on the White Album. They replace "wantons" with another word which doesn't come to mind.
Could one of our resident philologists (AnnaS is sort of on sabbatical from such research) tell us what "wanton" meant in the early 17th century? My guess would be "carefree."
