11I pray thee, send me back my heartI prithee send me back my heart
22Since I cannot have thine,Since I cannot have thine,
33For if from yours you will not partFor if from yours you will not part
44Why then should you keep mine?Why then should you keep mine?
55
66But now I think on't, let it lieYet now I think on it let it lie
77To find it were in vain,To send it me were vain,
88For th'hast a thief in either eyeFor thou'st a thief in either eye
99Would steal it back again!Will steal it back again.

1111Why should two hearts in one breast lieWhy should two hearts in one breast lie
1212And yet not lodge together?And yet not lodge together?
1313O love where is thy sympathy?O love where is thy sympathy
1414If thus our breasts thou sever!If thus our hearts thou sever?
15
16But love is such a mystery
17I cannot find it out,
18For when I think I'm best resolved
19Then am I most in doubt.
20
21Then farewell care and farewell woe,
22I will no longer pine;
23But I'll believe I have his heart
24As much as he hath mine.
