Love

She sat and sowde that hath done me the wrong

by Sir Thomas Wyatt 1503–1542

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

Love

She sat and sowde that hath done me the wrong :
Whereof I plain, and have done many a daye :
And whilst she herd my plaint in pitious song,
Wisshed my hert the samplar as it lay.
The blind maister whome I have served so long :
Grudging to here that he did here her saye ;
Made her own wepon do her fynger blede.
To fele if pricking were so good in dede.
