1    Yf with{w+t+} complaint the paine might be exprest
2    that inwardelye dothe cause me sigh & grone /
3    yo^r harde herte and yo^r cruell brest
4    shulde sighe and playne for my vnreste
5    and tho yt ware of stone /
6    yet shulde Remo^rse cause yt relent and mone /

7    But sins yt ys so faure out of mesure
8    {_o}{es} {w+t+} that with my wo^rdes I cannot yt ^not contayne
9    my onlye truste my hertes{es} tresure
10    alas whye doo I still indure
11    this resteles smerte and payne /
12    sins yf ye list ye maye my woo restraine

評註

這首詩被認為是托馬斯·懷亞特爵士的作品， 由H8抄錄。詩人抱怨女子的殘忍，這種殘忍給他帶來了如此巨大的痛苦，以至於他無法用言語表達自己的感受。
