Love
Desire alas, my master and my foo
From The Poems of Sir Thomas Wiat (ed. A. K. Foxwell, 1913)
Love
Desire alas, my master and my foo
So sore alterd thi selff how mayst thou se ?
Some tyme I sought that dryvis me to and fro;
Some tyme thow ledst that ledyth the and me.
What reson is to rewle thy subiectes so ?
By forcyd law and mutabilite ?
For where by the I dowtyd to have blame,
Evyn now by hate agayne I dowt the same.
