| |
| MY 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. | 5 |
| |
| 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. | 10 |
