Jasper: I am not myself these days - for all I know I might be you. There's more than room enough for two inside my mind. Sapsea: I am likewise in a haze of who I am from scene to scene; What's more we two, (we four, I mean) are in a bind! Jasper: For is it I or is it me? Sapsea: And if I'm him and if I'm he, each on of us might not Agree on what to do. Jasper: And if I take opposing sides within myself, Then who divides up what is right or wrong? Sapsea: I'll go along with you. Both: Ha'penny, one penny, tupenny, thrupenny Twelve to a shilling, twice that to a florin To find the same face on both sides of the coin? Bob is your uncle from pennies to guineas, The two-sided mint is the rule, not exception, And would you not quite feel quite the fool of deception To find the same face on both sides of the coin? Sapsea: Odds or evens, it's high or low It's up or down or night Jasper: Heads or tails, or black and white, Or left and right or day! Sapsea: Nature seldom ever fails to most obligingly provide An undisclosed opposing side to one's dismay. Jasper: There's shadows on this shining morn, Sapsea: If there's a rose it bears a thorn, Jasper: You're as good as dead as soon as born, Both: And yet we smile! Sapsea: But luck's division is perverse Jasper: It seems to work more in reverse Sapsea: If things are better, they'll be worse in just a while!
