A Ditty

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

By just exchange one for the other 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.

His heart in me, keeps him and me in one,

My heart in him, his thought 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.

--_Sir Phillip Sidney_
