SIR PHILIP SYDNEY

THE BARGAIN

	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. 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.
		Portrait of Sir Philip Sidney, painted on a frieze in the Old Reading Room, The Bodleian Library, Oxford, circa 1617.
