WHAT conscience, say, is it in thee,   When I a heart had one, To take away that heart from me,   And to retain thy own?

For shame or pity now incline   To play a loving part; Either to send me kindly thine,   Or give me back my heart.

Covet not both; but if thou dost   Resolve to part with neither, Why, yet to show that thou art just,   Take me and mine together!
