| Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503–42). The Poetical Works. 1880. | | | | Songs and Sonnets | | Charging of his Love as unpiteous and loving other |
| | | IF amorous faith, or if a heart unfeigned, | |
| A sweet langour, a great lovely desire, | |
| If honest will kindled in gentle fire, | |
| If long error in a blind maze chained, | |
| If in my visage each thought distained, | 5 |
| Or if my sparkling voice, lower, or higher, | |
| Which fear and shame so wofully doth tire; | |
| If pale colour, which love, alas, hath stained, | |
| If to have another than myself more dear, | |
| If wailing or sighing continually, | 10 |
| With sorrowful anger feeding busily, | |
| If burning far off, and if freezing near, | |
| Are cause that I by love myself destroy, | |
| Yours is the fault, and mine the great annoy. | | | | |
