A Ditty  
by Sir Philip Sidney

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:   
  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.
