What a gorget is?
A gorget from the French gorge meaning throat, was originally a band of lien wrapped around a woman's neck and head in the medieval periodor the lower part of a simple chaperon hood. The term subsequently described a steel or leather collar designed to protect the throat, a set of pieces of plate armour,
or a single piece of plate armour hanging from the neck and covering
the throat and chest. Later, particularly from the 18th century onwards,
the gorget became primarily ornamental, serving only as a symbolic
accessory on military uniforms, a use which has survived to the modern
day in some armies.

A poem:
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 was never 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.
