English text

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

By just exchange, one to the other given:

I hold his dear, And mine he cannot miss;

There never was a better bargain driven.

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.

Lyrics: Sir Philip Sidney (1549 - 1586)
