Love
Ffor to love her for her lokes lovely
From The Poems of Sir Thomas Wiat (ed. A. K. Foxwell, 1913)
Ffor to love her for her lokes lovely
My hert was set in thought right fermely.
Trusting by trouth to have had redresse :
But she hath made anothr promes,
And hath geven me leve full honestly.
Yet do I not reioyse it greately :
For on my faith I loved to surely :
But reason will that I do cesse
For to love her.
Syns that in love the paynes ben dedly,
Me thincke it best that reddely
I do retorn to my first adresse ;
For at this tyme to great is the prese
And perilles appere to abundauntely
For to love her.
