The Bargain

Philip Sidney

My true love hath my heart, and I have his

By just exchange one for another given;

I told his dear, and mine he cannot miss,

There never was a better bargain driven:

My true love hath my heart, and I have his.

His heart in me keeps him and me in one,

My heart in him his thoughts and senses guides;

He loves my heart, for once it was his own,

I cherish his because in me it bides;

My true love hath my heart, and I have his.
