I.

[My true loue hath my hart, and I haue his]

My true loue hath my hart, and I haue his,
By iust exchange one for the other giuen,
I hold his deare, and mine he cannot misse,
There neuer was a better bargaine driuen.
His hart in me keepes me and him in one,
My hart in him his thoughts and senses guides,
He loues my hart, for once it was his owne,
I cherish his, I because in me it bides, in because bides.
