Sir Philip Sidney. 15548688. The Bargain
MY true love hath my heart, and I have his, | |
By just exchange one for another given: | |
I hold his dear, and mine he cannot miss, | |
There never was a better bargain driven: | |
My true love hath my heart, and I have his. | 5 |
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. | 10 |
