Love

Mistrustfull mindes be moved

by Sir Thomas Wyatt 1503–1542

From The Poems of Sir Thomas Wiat (ed. A. K. Foxwell, 1913)

Love

Mistrustfull mindes be moved
To have me in suspect,
The troth it shalbe proved
Which time shall once detect.

Though falshed go about
Of crime me to accuse,
At length I do not doute
But truth shall me excuse.

Such sawce as they have served
To me without desart,
Even as they have diserved
Therof God send them part.
