Answer:
would keep you here for a month or two Before you gamble for me. I could teach you . How to choose right, but then I’m breaking my. oath; I’ll never do that; you may not win me; And if you don’t, you’ll make me wish I had sinned, That I had broken my oath. Curse your eyes, They have looked me over and divided me: One half of me is yours, the other half is also yours, My own love, I would say; but if my love, then yours, And so-everything yours. Oh! these wicked times , Put up bars between the owners and their rights; l’ And so, though I am yours, I am not yours.
