Social Commentaries
Throughout the world if it were sought
From The Poetical Works of Sir Thomas Wyatt, ed. Nicolas (Aldine Poets, 1854)
Social Commentaries
Throughout the world if it were sought,
Fair words enough a man shall find;
They be good cheap, they cost right nought,
Their substance is but only wind;
But well to say and so to mean,
That sweet accord is seldom seen.
