Robert Herrick. 1591–1674265. To Oenone
| 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 | 5 |
| 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, | 10 |
| Why, yet to show that thou art just, | |
| Take me and mine together! |
