Love
Alas madame for stelyng of a kysse
From The Poems of Sir Thomas Wiat (ed. A. K. Foxwell, 1913)
Love
Alas madame for stelyng of a kysse,
Have I somuch your mynd then offended?
Have I then done so grevously amysse,
That by no meanes it may be amended ?
Then revenge you : and the next way is this :
An othr kysse shall have my lyffe endid.
For to my mowth the first my hert did suck,
The next shall clene oute of my brest it pluck.
