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 heart in me keeps him and me in one;
My heart in him his thoughts and senses guides;
He love 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.
--Sir Philip Sidney, 16th Century
