MY TRUE-LOVE HATH MY
HEART
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 bargain
better 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
hurt did light,
So still, methought, in me
his hurt did smart:
Both equal hurt, in this
change sought our bliss,
My true love hath my heart
and I have his.
