“What would you do, love, if distant ti-dings
Thy fond con-fi-dings
Should under-mine And I a-bi-ding 'neath sultry skies,
Should think other eyes Were as bright as thine?”
“Oh, name it not; though guilt and shame Were on thy name,
I'd still be true;
But that heart of thine, should another share it,
I could not bear it;—
What would I do?”
