What question can be here? Your own true heart
Must needs advise you of the only part:
That may be claim'd again which was but lent,
And should be yielded with no discontent,
Nor surely can we find herein a wrong,
That it was left us to enjoy it long.

The Lent Jewels; reported in Hoyt's New Cyclopedia Of Practical Quotations (1922)
