CCXXXIII
[Deme as ye list vpon goode cause]
Deme as ye list vpon goode cause
I maye and think of this or that,
But what or whye my self best knowes,
Wherebye I thinck and fere not;
But there vnto I maye well link
The doubtefull sentence of this clause:
I wolde yt ware not as I think,
I wolde I thought yt ware not.
I maye and think of this or that,
But what or whye my self best knowes,
Wherebye I thinck and fere not;
But there vnto I maye well link
The doubtefull sentence of this clause:
I wolde yt ware not as I think,
I wolde I thought yt ware not.
236
Ffor if I thought yt ware not soo,
Though yt ware so yt greved me not;
Vnto my thought yt ware as tho
I harkenid tho I here not.
At that I see I cannot wynk,
Nor from mye thought so let it goo:
I wolde yt ware not as I think,
I wolde I thought yt ware not.
Though yt ware so yt greved me not;
Vnto my thought yt ware as tho
I harkenid tho I here not.
At that I see I cannot wynk,
Nor from mye thought so let it goo:
I wolde yt ware not as I think,
I wolde I thought yt ware not.
Lo how my thought might make me free
Of that perchaunce that nedeth nott;
Perchaunce none doubte the drede I see,
I shrink at that I bere not;
But in my harte this worde shall sink
Vnto the proffe maye better be:
I wolde yt ware not as I think,
I wolde I thought yt ware not.
Of that perchaunce that nedeth nott;
Perchaunce none doubte the drede I see,
I shrink at that I bere not;
But in my harte this worde shall sink
Vnto the proffe maye better be:
I wolde yt ware not as I think,
I wolde I thought yt ware not.
Yf yt be not, shewe no cause whye
I shoulde so think, then care I not;
For I shall soo my self applie
To bee that I apere not;
That is as one that shall not shrink
To be your owne vntill I dye:
And if yt be not as I think,
Lyke wyse to think yt is not.
I shoulde so think, then care I not;
For I shall soo my self applie
To bee that I apere not;
That is as one that shall not shrink
To be your owne vntill I dye:
And if yt be not as I think,
Lyke wyse to think yt is not.
