You have just arrived and are already saying you must go home, which is quite something. Here, the proverb has come completely true: doing whatever you please, as if it were your own house.

This couplet captures a lover's playful yet wounded grievance. No sooner does the beloved arrive than they announce it is time to leave, prompting the poet to retort with gentle sarcasm—'well said, indeed!' By invoking the old idiom of doing as one pleases, the poet tenderly reveals the one-sided dynamic of love, where the beloved rules by sheer whim and the lover is left craving just a few moments more.
