Love
Dyvers dothe use as I have hard and kno
From The Poems of Sir Thomas Wiat (ed. A. K. Foxwell, 1913)
Dyvers dothe use as I have hard and kno,
When that to chaunge ther ladies do beginne,
To mone and waile, and never for to lynne,
Hoping therby to pease ther painefull woo.
And some ther be, that when it chaunceth soo
That women chaunge, and hate wher love hath bene,
Thei call them fals, and think with wordes to wynne
The hartes of them wich otherwhere doth goo.
But as for me, though that by chaunse indede
Change hath out-worne the favor that I had,
I will not wayle, lament, nor yet be sad,
Nor call her fals that falsley ded me fede ;
But let it passe and think it is of kinde,
That often chaunge doeth plese a womans minde.
