Lyrics: Sir Philip Sydney

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.
His heart in me keeps me and him 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.

His heart his wound received from my sight,
My heart was wounded with his wounded heart:
For as from me on him his heart did light,
So still methought in me his heart did smart.
Both equal hurt, in this change sought our bliss:
My true love hath my heart, and I have his.
