29    But syns there ys no defence
30    I must take pacyence

評論

這首詩被認為是托馬斯·懷亞特爵士所作，由H2抄錄。這首詩描述了說話者因朋友變敵人而遭受的痛苦，以及他們持久的耐心。詩歌“What nedythe lyff when I requyer” (43r-44r)和“Greting to you bothe yn hertye wyse” (79r-79v)描繪了類似的主題：前者講述了戀人如何成為敵人，而後者包含了關於虛假朋友的警告。

Rebholz 指出這首詩可能屬於懷亞特受塞拉菲諾的《Patientia 頌歌》啟發而寫的一組詩歌。“Pacyence of all my smart” 的第 1-2 行翻譯了塞拉菲諾詩歌的前兩行。
