| Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503–42). The Poetical Works. 1880. | | | | Odes | | That Unkindness hath slain his poor true Heart |
| | | IF in the world there be more woe | |
| Than I have in my heart; | |
| Whereso it is, it doth come fro’, | |
| And in my breast there doth it grow, | |
| For to increase my smart. | 5 |
| Alas! I am receipt of every care; | |
| And of my life each sorrow claims his part. | |
| Who list to live in quietness | |
| By me let him beware. | |
| For I by high disdain | 10 |
| Am made without redress; | |
| And unkindness, alas! hath slain | |
| My poor true heart, all comfortless. | | | | |
