Madam, Withouten Many Words

Sir Thomas Wyatt 1503 (Allington Castle, Kent) – 1542 (Clifton Maybank House, Dorset)

Madam, withouten many words
  Once I am sure ye will or no ...
And if ye will, then leave your bourds
  And use your wit and show it so,
And with a beck ye shall me call;
  And if of one that burneth alway
Ye have any pity at all,
  Answer him fair with & {.} or nay.
If it be &, {.} I shall be fain;
  If it be nay, friends as before;
Ye shall another man obtain,
  And I mine own and yours no more.
