評論

這首詩被認為是托馬斯·懷亞特爵士所作， 由H8 錄入。 說話者因從這位女士的殘酷中獲得的新自由而感到高興。 Rebholz 認為塞拉菲諾的 Fui serrato nel dolore 可能是懷亞特的笑聲副歌和糾纏感的靈感來源。 接枝和腐爛的樹枝意象是宮廷愛情詩歌中常見的意象。 有關手稿中此意象的其他示例，請參閱 “Yff reason govern fantasye" (45v)、“This rotyd greff will not but growe” (47v) 和 “Nowe fare well love and theye lawes forever” (75r).

H8 在每個詩節之後，將兩行副歌從前四字 (“but ha. ha. ha”) 逐漸縮短到前兩字。
