Text by Thomas Wyatt

77. The lover hopeth of better chance.

He is not dead, that somtime had a fall.

The Sun returnes, that hid was under clowd.

And when Fortune hath spit out all her gall, I trust, good luck to me shall be alowd.

For, I have seen a ship in haven fall, After that storme hath broke both maste, & shroud, The willow eke, that stoupeth with the winde, Doth rise againe, and greater wood doth binde.

59. To his love whom he had kissed against her will.

Alas, Madame, for stealing of a kisse, Have I so much your minde therein offended?

Or have I done so grievously amisse: That by no meanes it may not be amended?

Revenge you then, the rediest way is this: Another kisse my life it shal have ended.

For, to my mouth the first hart did suck: The next shal clene out of my brest it pluck.

132. Of sodaine trusting.

Driven by desire I did this dede To danger my self without cause why: To trust thuntrue not like to spede, To speake and promise faithfully: But now the proofe doth verifie, That who so trusteth ere he know, Doth hurt himself and please his foe.

120. A riddle of a gift geven by a Ladie.

A Lady gave me a gift she had not, And I received her gift which I toke not, She gave it me willingly, and yet she would not, And I received it, albeit, I could not, If she give it me, I force not, And if she take it againe she cares not.

Conster what this is and tel not, For I am fast sworne I may not.

70. The lovers sorowfull state maketh him write sorowfull songes, but (Souche) his love may change the same.

Marvell no more although The songes, I sing do mone: For other life then wo, I never proved none.

And in my hart also, Is graven with letters depe A thousand sighes and mo: A flood of tears to wepe.

How may a man in smart Finde matter to rejoice?

How may a moorning hart Set foorth a pleasant voice.

Play who so can, that part: Nedes must in me appere: How fortune overthwart Doth cause my moorning chere.

Perdy these is no man, If he saw never sight: That perfitly tell can The nature of the light.

Alas, how should I than, That never taste but sowre: But do, as I began, Continually to lowre.

But yet perchance some chance May chance to change my tune: And when (Souch) chance doth chance: Then shall I thank fortune.

And if I have (Souch) chance: Perchance ere it be long: For (Souch) a pleasant chance.

To sing some pleasant song.

I. The lover hopeth of better chance He is not dead, that somtime had a fall.

The Sun returnes, that hid was under clowd.

And when Fortune hath spit out all her gall, I trust, good luck to me shall be alowd.

For, I have seen a ship in haven fall, After that storme hath broke both maste, & shroud, The willow eke, that stoupeth with the winde, Doth rise againe, and greater wood doth binde.

V. The lovers sorowfull state maketh him write sorowfull songes, but (Souche) his love may change the same.

Marvell no more altho The songes, I sing do mone: For other life then wo, I never proved none.

And in my hart also, Is graven with letters depe A thousand sighes and mo: A flood of teares to wepe.

How may a man in smart Finde matter to rejoyce?

How may a moorning hart Set foorth a pleasant voyce.

Play who so can, that part: Nedes must in me appere: How fortune overthwart Doth cause my moorning chere.

Perdy these is no man, If he saw never sight: That perfitly tell can The nature of the light.

Alas: how should I than, That never taste but sowre: But do, as I began, Continually to lowre.

But yet perchance some chance May chance to change my tune: And when (Souch) chance doth chance: Then shall I thank fortune.

And if I have (Souch) chance: Perchance ere it be long: For (Souch) a pleasant chance.

To sing some pleasant song.
