but none knows how; With these the crystal of his brow, And then the dimple of his chin-- All these did my Campaspe win. At last he set her both his eyes.-- She won, and Cupid blind did rise. O Love, has she done this to thee? What shall, alas! become of me? John Lyly. A DITTY. My true-love hath my heart, and I have his, By just exchange one to the other 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.
