評論

這首詩被認為是托馬斯·懷亞特爵士所作， 它是被H8 錄入的。說話者拒絕繼續為失去的愛而悲傷，並把這位女士的反覆無常描述為女性氣質的自然品質。他滿足於曾經擁有過這位女士的愛。另一個描述這種關於女性反覆無常的觀點的例子，請看詩歌 “Dyvers dothe vse as I have hard & kno” (77v)。

這首詩是瑪格麗特·道格拉斯標記為“and thys” 的 17 個條目之一。保羅·雷姆利認為這些註釋與她的另一個文字內註釋“lerne but to syng it”（在 "now all of chaunge" (81r) 上）有關，可能代表了一組要學習的用來娛樂的文字。
