SIR THOMAS WYATT

And wilt thou leave me thus, That hath loved thee so long In wealth and woe among: And is thy heart so strong As for to leave me thus? Say nay' say nay I

And wilt thou leave me thus, That hath given thee my heart Never for to depart Neither for pain nor smart' And wilt thou leave me thus?

Say nay' say nay'

And wilt thou leave me thus, And have no more pity Of him that loveth thee ? Alas, thy cruelty' And wilt thou leave me thus? Say nay' say nay!

A Revocation

WHAT should I say? Since Faith is dead, And Truth away From you is fled? Should I be led With doubleness? Nay! nay' mistress.
