THE BARGAIN
by: Sir Philip Sidney (1554-1586)
- Y 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.
-
- 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.
