Love

What nedeth these threning wordes and wasted wynde

by Sir Thomas Wyatt 1503–1542

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

Love

What nedeth these threning wordes and wasted wynde :
All this cannot make me restore my pray :
To robbe your good I wis is not my mynde :
Nor causeles your fair hand did I display.
Let love be judge, or els whome next we meit;
That may boeth here what you and I can say :
She toke from me an hert ; and I a glove from her ;
Let us se no we, if thon) be wourth thothr.
