Prolong'd his stay: you yet may make him happy.

Reflect how cruel must you prove,
From all you prize, to part;
Reflect you live but in his love,
He lives but in your heart.
From all you prize, to part;
Reflect you live but in his love,
He lives but in your heart.

That made you once so blest:
Remember still it burns the same
Within his faithful breast.
That made you once so blest:
Remember still it burns the same
Within his faithful breast.
