CLXXXIX

[Sum tyme I syghe, sumtyme I syng]

Sum tyme I syghe, sumtyme I syng,
Sumtyme I lawghe, sumtyme mornynge,
As one in dowte thys ys my ssayyng:
Have I dysplesyd yow in anythyng?
Alake, what aylythe you to be grevyd?
Ryght sory am I that ye be mevyd;
I am your owne yf trewthe be prevyd
And by your dyspleasure as one myschevyd.
When ye be mery, than am I glad;
When ye be sory, than am I sad;
Suche grace or fortune I would I had,
Yow for to plese how euer I were bestad.

200

When ye be mery, why shuld I care?
Ye are my joye and my wellfare;
I wyll you love; I wyll not spare
Into yowre presens as farr as I dare.
All my poore hart and my love trew
Whyle lyff dothe last I gyve yt yow;
And yow to serve with servys dew,
And neuer to change yow for no new.
