Love
Dryven bye desire I dede this dede
From The Poems of Sir Thomas Wiat (ed. A. K. Foxwell, 1913)
Love
Dryven bye desire I dede this dede,
To daunger myself without cause whye.
To trust the untrue not lyke to spede,
To speke and promise faithefullie.
But now the proof dothe verifie,
That who so trustithe ere he kno,
Dothe hurte himself and please his ffoo.
