CLXIX

[Tho of the sort ther be that ffayne]

Tho of the sort ther be that ffayne
And cloke ther craft to serve ther turne,
Shall I, Alas, that trewlye mene,
Ffor ther offence thus gyltles burne;
And yf I bye ther ffawt to dere,
That ther vntruthe thus hett my ffyere,
Then haue I wronge.
Tho ffraylte fayle not to appere
In them that wayle as well as I,
And thoughe the ffals by lycke desyere
Dothe swere hym selfe thyn owne to bee,
Yf thou dost judge me one of theys
That so can fayne suche commone ways,
Then haue I wronge.
Tho chaunse hathe powere to chaunge their love,
That all by chaunce ther wyll dothe gyd,
Suche chaunce may not my hart remove,
For I by choise my selfe haue tryed;
And not by chaunce, wherfore I saye,
Yf thou dost not my wylffare staye,
Then haue I wronge.

181

Tho stedffastnes in them do lacke,
That do protest the contrayrye,
And tho perfformans none theay mak
Of that theay promyse diuerslye,
Yet syns ther ffawtis ar none of myne,
Yf thou Reffussyst me for thyne,
Then haue I wronge.
