Joad |
Joys, in gentle trains appearing, |
Heav’n does to my fair impart; |
And, to make them more endearing, |
I shall share them with my heart! |
Josabeth |
Softest joys would but deceive me, |
Hadst thou not thy happy part; |
O my dearest lord, believe me, |
Thou shalt share them with my heart. |
Both |
I / You shall / shalt share them with my / thy heart. |
